Conifers
DOUGLAS FIR (Pseudotsuga menziesii)
$12/bundle of 5
Soil: Moist - Dry
Sunlight: Sun - Shade
A rapid grower, Doug fir prefers full sun and well-drained soils. Once established, it can grow two to four feet per year and reach 200 to 300 feet as old growth. It provides excellent shelter for birds and wildlife and won’t suffer from deer browse. Because it tends to drop branches in heavy winds, it should not be planted near homes or buildings.
Below are the coniferous selections available during this year’s sale. Orders open on January 6, 2026
WESTERN RED CEDAR (Thuja plicata)
$12/bundle of 5
Soil: Moist - Dry
Sunlight: Full shade - part sun
This native conifer is aromatic, very long-lived, and notably rot-resistant. It is slower growing than Douglas fir and tolerates shade. Red cedar reaches 200+ feet and is an excellent species for wetland or riparian areas or under-planting alders. Its large size is a reason to plant away from buildings and septic systems.
GRAND FIR (Abies grandis)
$12/bundle of 5
Soil: Moist - Dry
Sunlight: Full sun - partial shade
Tall, straight tree growing to 80m tall. Similar habitat requirements to Douglas Fir. Deep roots make it resistant to toppling in the wind. Dense limb growth and wonderfully fragrant needles make it the ideal Christmas tree for those looking to grow their own.
ALASKA YELLOW CEDAR (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis)
$12/bundle of 5
Soil: Moist
Sunlight: Full sun - partial shade
A medium-sized conifer prized for its long, drooping, grey-green foliage. It can grow up to 35 feet if it’s well-sited. It appreciates well-drained, moist, soil and at least 6 hours of sunlight.

A beautiful native deciduous shrub that grows 3 to 8 feet tall and can tolerate salt spray in shoreline plantings. It does best in wet conditions in full or partial sun but can withstand drought once established. Its showy pink flowers attract butterflies and bees.
LOW OREGON GRAPE (Mahonia nervosa)

Low Oregon Grape is an excellent choice for dry shade. With its leathery, fern-like, leaves, it is an attractive groundcover or border plant for a shady woodland garden.

Flowers are followed by large clusters of blue berries with a waxy, whitish bloom.
MOCK ORANGE (Philadelphus lewisii)
$12/bundle of 5
Soil: Moist - dry

Philadelphus lewisii is adaptable to various soils and conditions and can be quite drought tolerant.

Soil: Moist - Dry
Sunlight: Sun - shade
This tall, deciduous shrub grows to 15 feet, prefers moist soil conditions, and thrives in sun to partial shade. It has attractive reddish bark and boasts white pom-pom flower clusters in the spring.
