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.
Western Hemlock
Western Hemlock
Bundle of 25 trees
Description
Tsuga heterophylla is an evergreen conifer with drooping branches and furrowed, dark-brown to reddish-brown bark grows to 225 feet tall. It can often be identified from a distance by the drooping new growth at the top of the tree. Needles on the same branch vary in length from ¼ to ¾ inch; are flat, distinctly grooved, glossy yellow-green above, have two broad, white stripes below and form flat sprays. Cones turn from green to brown at maturity, and are abundant, one inch long, oval-shaped, attach directly to the branch, and fall intact to the ground.
Habitat
Throughout the region, especially in moist conditions. Does best on deep, moist, well-drained soils, and requires high organic content in the soil. Full sun to full shade, though seedlings are often dried out by full sun. Can be found in pure stands or mixed with other species. Not drought-tolerant.
Beneficial Uses
Provides food, nesting, and cover (especially winter cover) for birds and mammals. Seeds are eaten by several species of birds and small mammals.
