| BREWER'S WEEPING SPRUCE Picea brewerana |
Zones 4 - 7, 14 - 17. To 100 - 120 ft. in its native Siskiyou Mountains in California and Oregon. Branchlets are pendulous, hanging vertically to 7 - 8 ft. or more. Rare in the wilds and in gardens. More tender than most spruces; requires much moisture and cool temperatures. | 1-gal |
| DWARF MUGO PINE Pinus mugo pumilo |
3 - 6 ft. The ultimate Dwarf Mugo Pine. Very drought tolerant, low, dense-compact form. Grown from seed gathered in the Abruzzi Maiella Mountains in central Italy which is the preferred seed origin for low growing dwarf forms. | 5-gal |
| CORK OAK Quercus suber |
Evergreen. Zones 5 - 7 (with occasional winter damage), 8 - 16, 18 - 23. Native to Mediterranean region. Moderate growth rate to 70 5 100 ft. high and as wide. Trunk and principal limbs covered with thick, corky bark (cork of commerce). The toothed, 3-in. leaves are shiny dark green above, gray beneath. General effect is fine textured. Needs good drainage. Fairly tolerant of different soil types, but likely to yellow in alkaline soils. Established trees can take considerable aridity. One of best oaks for desert. Good garden shade tree with interesting contrast between fairly light-textured foliage and massive, fissured trunk. Value as street tree or park tree diminishes when children find out how easy it is to carve bark. | 5-gal |
| BLOODTWIG DOGWOOD Cornus sanguinea |
Shrub. Zones 1 - 7. Big show comes in fall with dark blood red foliage and in winter with bare, purplish branches and twigs for winter color. Grows as big multistemmed shrub to 12 ft. high, about 8 ft. wide. Dark green leaves 1 1/2 - 3 in. long. June flowers are greenish white in 2-in. -wide clusters. Black fruit. | 5-gal |
| BERGENIA Saxifragaceae | Native to Himalayas and mountains of China. Thick rootstocks; large, glossy green leaves. Thick leafless stalks, 1 - 1 1/2 ft. high, bear graceful nodding clusters of small white, pink, or rose flowers. Ornamental foliage on all-year asset. Strong, substantial textural quality in borders, under trees, as bold-patterned ground cover. Effective with ferns, hellebores, hostas, and as foreground planting for Fatsia japonica, aucubas, rhododendrons. Best performance in partial shade but will take full sun in cool coastal climates. Cut back yearly to prevent legginess. Divide crowded clumps; replant vigorous divisions. Bait for snails and slugs. | 1-gal |
