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.

Shore Pine
Shore Pine
Bundle of 25 trees
Description
The Pinus contorta var. contorta is pine is our only native two-needled pine. In exposed areas near the Pacific coast, it grows 15-50 feet tall, often with a crooked trunk, bushy form, and windblown crown. Slightly further inland, it can have a similar form, or grow as a straight tree to a height of 100 feet with an irregular crown and is more familiar to us as the lodge pole pine. Needles are deep green, stiff, sharp-pointed, one to three inches long, and paired. Cones are numerous, small (one to two inches long), egg-shaped, usually covered with sharp prickles. Deer resistant.
Habitat
A highly-adaptable species found in saturated to excessively well-drained soils. Occurs along the coast and on lowlands, especially on marshy or gravelly sites where Douglas-fir and western hemlock can't grow well enough to exclude it. Also found in sphagnum bogs in some areas of Western Washington. Tolerant of low-nutrient soils. Prefers full sun.
Beneficial Uses
Pine nuts from the cone are a favorite of squirrels and songbirds. The tree is a favorite among Bonsai enthusiasts. Can be used for timber.
