Welcome to our Native Plant Store
We are now accepting orders for our 2025 Native Plant Sale!
PLANT INFORMATION:
Most of the plants offered in our sale are 1- to 2-year-old bare-root seedlings (no soil on the roots) that typically range in size from 8” to 24” other than a couple specialty species that are “plugs” that are grown in seedling trays. These plants tend to be smaller in stature, and may only be 3” or so tall at delivery.
Conifer trees are sold in bundles of 25, and most deciduous trees and shrubs are sold in bundles of 10, with the exception of specialty shrub species sold in bundles of 5.
To learn more about native plants and help you choose which plants are most suited to your site and goals, visit our Native Plants webpage and/or view our Past Webinars for information on natural landscaping, choosing native plants for birds and pollinators, preparing your site for planting, and protecting plants from animal damage, and much more.

PICKING UP PLANTS: Plants will be available for pick-up on Friday, March 1, 2025 or Saturday, March 2, 2025. Plants are only available for pick-up at our distribution center held at Lazy J Tree Farm at 225 Gehrke Road in Port Angeles. Shipping is not available.
To help with the flow of traffic, drive through pick-up times are staggered and a timeslot will be chosen during the order checkout process. A reminder notice in the form of a brightly colored postcard with your order number will be mailed out two weeks prior to pick-up day to help facilitate a quick pick-up of plants.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL: Once an order is placed we are unable to make changes, so please review your order carefully before placing it. Unless prior arrangements are made, plants not picked up on your chosen pick-up date may be donated to restoration projects. Refunds are not available for plant orders that are not picked up.
Big Leaf Maple
Big Leaf Maple
Bundle of 10 trees
Description
Acer macrophyllum is a broad-leaved, deciduous tree grows 50-110 feet tall (the largest of all maple trees), with a single trunk 36-48 inches in diameter, and can have a branch spread of up to 50 feet. The leaves are dark green and 12-24 inches wide. Greenish-yellow flowers are scented, appear in the spring before the leaves, and hang in cylindrical clusters. Fruits are winged, and disperse by flying "helicopter style".
Habitat
Lowland areas, usually in moist, well-drained soils with shade, but also on dry sites. Almost never in saturated soils. In mixed stands with conifers, along stream banks, and in the open. Full sun to partial shade. Drought tolerant.
Beneficial Uses
Wildlife eat seeds, leaves, and new sprouts. Flowers are an early nectar source for bees and other insects. Deer and elk feed off the twigs and foliage. Also provides cover and nesting sites for birds and other wildlife. Wood is commonly used in making piano frames, decorative veneers, flooring, paneling and furniture and some times for wood fuel. Sap can be tapped for sweet maple syrup.
