Gold Spire Ginkgo grows slowly but is dense and upright, only ¼ as wide as tall. A male selection, it has golden foliage in autumn as you would expect.

A hybrid of curious parentage, sieboldii x tripetala, found at Kew in the 40's. Its upward facing, white flowers of pleasant fragrance are borne in May and June with the large foliage.

Its color is a attractive crystalline red-purple that almost has a metallic sheen. The growth habit is an upright small tree with a columnar to pyramidal habit. It will produce summer flowers, particularly where summer rains are common. In 2013 'Cleopatra' won first prize for the best new tree at the International Plant Trade Fair in Essen, Germany. This recognizes the special qualities of 'Cleopatra' and helps put Magnolia Grove, NZ on the world map of Magnolia breeders. It is showing good resistance to mildew.

A phenomenal new development in redbuds with fully double, bright pink flowers more reminiscent of a flowering cherry than anything you know as a redbud. Truly remarkable. Long blooming and sterile. In other regards growth and habit are as you expect.

Cameo is a sister seedling to Cleopatra and is the latest release from the New Zealand Magnolia Grove breeding program of Vance Hooper. A stunning bloom with a sculpted form like a cameo broach. Reddish purple exterior with clean white flushed red-purple interior. Cameo has exceptional flower power, second only to Genie for freeness of flowering. The high rate of flower production both in spring and summer keeps the plant as a small tree with a compact habit.

Tinker Belle is a really beautiful Magnolia and we expect it to be in big demand. Fast growing it blooms well on young plants in the nursery. The buds open to numerous dark magenta, 3" upright flowers with pale pink interiors and a very sweet fragrance. Small in stature it will make an excellent specimen for smaller gardens, container culture or a shrubby boarder. The plants set buds readily in the nursery and the color and fragrance are unique attracting a lot of interest in the garden center. In Europe it is sought after for cut flower production.

The small, prickly, holly-like leaves of 'Coconino' are silver-gray; the tree is hardy and fully evergreen in Zone 5B and below. At maturity, the grafted tree should be about 20 feet tall. The silver-gray leaves and the black fissured bark of 'Coconino' make it a striking subject as either a specimen planting or in a group. It is very representative of the mixed oak/pine forests of the upper Southwest, a lovely reminder of hikes and camping trips on the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona. Will do well across the West because of its region-adapted rootstock which is tolerant to high pH soils and arid conditions.

Released six years ago, Jefferson has very high EFB resistance and is well suited for in-shell market. It should be planted as a replacement for old EFB susceptible Barcelona orchards.

In addition to complete Eastern Filbert Blight resistance, Dorris has smaller tree stature. The kernels have very high quality and great flavor. They will demand a higher price. These desirable traits and those of its pollinizers York and Felix, illuminate the future of the industry.

A late season pollinator with very high levels of resistance to EFB, it has low nut yields though they are suitable for in-shell market.

The newest release from OSU, McDonald does get some EFB infection under high pressure, though it has the resistance gene. It is small nut for the kernel market. The tree is smaller than Jefferson.

One of the newest releases, Wepster is a small-kernelled hazelnut for the confection market. This is a big deal for Oregon. It has a high level of resistance to EFB

Maturing 10-15 days ahead of Barcelona, Yamhill has complete resistance to EFB. Its nuts, best suited for kernel market, are smaller but harvests exceed Barcelona.

Shawn Mehlenbacher reports, "a high level of quantitative resistance to EFB, similar to ‘ Tonda di Giffoni," thought it isn't totally resistant. It too is 10-15 days earlier than Barcelona and has smaller nuts with a higher yield.

A very late season pollinator with total resistance to EFB. It is a good choice for planting with Jefferson.

‘Burgundy Lace’ is a unique hazelnut selection for the ornamental landscape tree market. It is the only European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) cultivar in the nursery trade that combines dissected leaves (the cutleaf trait), red leaf color and resistance to the Oregon strain of eastern filbert blight (EFB). The tree is moderately vigorous and has a desirable upright-spreading growth habit that should be easy to manage in a landscape setting.

For over 35 years Michael Yanny, Wisconsin, has been selecting and improving his native Musclewood. He started with a few trees that had some fall color and now he releases, with our help, the Wisconsin Red™ strain which has amazing fall color, so much so in fact, if you didn't know better you would suspect it was a different species. Raging reds, oranges and yellow autumn tones set this strain apart from normal seedlings and even his earlier work. Limited supply this year.

This is another Ray Jackson section for very dark purple foliage which, in the right light, appears black even in our cool Oregon climate. It is going to bring a lot of excitement to this market and will create great value for the garden center trade. Lavender flowers. Supply is very limited.

The large, well-formed foliage is cast with a blue haze, very different than any other dogwood. Moderate sized creamy white flowers are starry and the bracts overlap halfway.

This is the first kousa released from the fabled Rutgers dogwood breeding program. It was selected it for its deep pink to fuchsia colored bracts. They almost glow from a distance. The bracts are pointed and do not overlap, developing an attractive starry shape.

While Ragin' Red has the darkest red floral bracts of any C. florida it also has very dark red leaves, here in Oregon, nearly all summer long. Fall color is again red. So it really is in a red rage from spring until leaf drop.

Another remarkable release from the U.S. National Arboretum's shrub breeding program in McMinnville, Tenn. in 2013 for which they should be rightly proud. Blooming a week later than other sections and holding its mature inflorescences even longer it really extends the season. The inflorescences are 9 inches long and age to pink while the plant grows to 6 ft. tall by 9 ft. wide.

Seedlings of regular green Japanese maple selected for short internodes, in pre-bonsai or shrub form.
