And I thought last year was bad!! We just had a full week of freezing temps--down in the teens and sometimes low teens.  This is NOT Oregon winter. Now the rains have set in for a spell so forget about digging on any kind of normal scale. I got really bogged down updating website because I didn't have pics of the Jap maples and it is just no fun without them, but Barbara Winch rode to the rescue with a whole new bunch so I will start adding as soon as my internet connection resets. Check em out!

Here's the secret to this website: there is no way to order from the site. You have to call me. People are spending hours looking for the cart, but I will never be that organized. Plus I like to talk to you folks. So just call. (number below)

I have worked on the website some, but it is not near completely up to date, so if you so much as WONDER if I have something in a certain size, feel free to call 503 510 0486.  I do have some neato new things: new Japanese Maple cultivars and other ornamentals; in edibles we're offering the most exciting development in decades: a delicious pest resistant gooseberry named Jeanne. The only ones I have now are in pots and aren't large (OK, they are miniscule) but they are guaranteed to grow well as they have great roots. And other fun stuff. Like Blueberries. And Raspberries.  I'm working on the Magnolia update now and it is a tough one; if you are looking for Mags, I'll be glad to direct your search if I don't have what you want.

SIZES are always a question: graft size means that it was grafted or budded within one year and probably has no more than 18" of new growth. In September most of the plants of this size are moved: to a larger container or to a gallon where they will sit for a year and chunk up. Thus gallons are bigger than graft size and two gallons are much bigger. Field grown means that the plants have been planted in the field for 3 or 4 years and those trees are very sturdy--ready for a child/dog yard. If you request it, I will send a picture of the tree I will send. Also, I always answer e-mail so if you don't get a response straightaway,  send again or call. Have a great planting season.

If you are visiting my site for edibles and you do not know about NAFEX (North American Fruit Explorers), you are missing a great thing: go to their website (you can tell they are gardeners and not computer geeks) www.nafex.org and see what the group offers.
