CASCARA (Rhamnus purshiana) NEW! Our first time offering this attractive shrub which produces deep green leaves and grows to 30 feet, upright often on a single stem. Not best as a stand-alone, but itﾒs a great addition to your mixed hedgerow, or for mixing into a forest, and provides good bird food. It will tolerate just about any spot except for full sun. Prefers the shade of conifers and moist soil conditions.

RED-FLOWERING CURRANT (Ribes sanguineum) Perhaps our region's most famous flowering shrub and a harbinger of hummingbirds in the spring. Flower color ranges from pink to bright red. Preferring open spaces and well-drained, even rocky soil, these plants may reach nine feet or more. Fruit-loving birds favor the berries.

SERVICEBERRY (Saskatoon, Shadbush - all names for Amelanchier alnifolia) A large shrub or small tree (to 15 feet, occasionally more) of the Rose Family, which has showy, white spring flowers and edible and tasty early fruit (good for jam!). It tolerates a variety of soils, salt shore edges, and some shade - although it does best in at least half-day full sun.

SNOWBERRY (Syphoricarpos albus) This short shrub (to six feet) likes to grow densely in thickets. The small
pink fl owers attract hummingbirds all summer, and the snow-white berries are showy all winter. Tolerates a variety
of soils & sun, and is deer-resistant to boot.

TALL OREGON GRAPE (Mahonia aquifolium) A shrub widely used for its evergreen leaves; compact, upright habit; and ease of care. Purple fruit follows sulfur yellow flowers in early spring (the fruit is edible although very tart). This plant is good for shading out weeds without blocking views, as it is one of our few native evergreen shrubs that thrives in full sun.

VINE MAPLE (Acer circinatum) Our favorite native maple for home landscapes that grows as a single trunk, small tree in full sun or as a many-trunk shrub in shade. It has excellent soil binding roots and provides food and cover for wildlife while yielding beautiful yellow to red fall color. Showy clusters of wine-colored flowers appear before the leaves in the spring. It prefers moist soil and partial shade, but is adaptable to sunnier sites.

DOUGLAS FIR (Pseudotsuga menziesii) 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 heights of 200-300 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.

NOBLE FIR (Abies procera) A lovely large fir species reaching 250 feet at maturity, with bluish-green needles and 10-15cm cones borne upright on the branches. This symmetrical tree grows in moist to dry sites and is often used for Christmas trees.

WESTERN RED CEDAR (Thuja plicata) 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 heights of 200+ feet, and is an excellent species for wetland or riparian areas or for under-planting
alders. It doesn't drop as many branches as Douglas Fir, but its large size is reason enough to plant away from buildings and septic systems.
