Conifers - 2008 Ordering Information
Welcome to the conifer section of the catalog. A brief note about sizes. "S.P." refers to everything from 2.5" deep pots to quarts. "G" refers to gallon pots and larger, up to about 3 gallons. "B.A.P." is Arrowhead slang for yet larger pots; the acronym is obvious especially after moving them all day.
As you would expect, prices reflect size and rarity. Prices are guaranteed only for spring shipment. In fall some of them may change (but many will not). If you are ordering for fall check with us for updated pricing.

Araucaria - Chamaecyparis Obtusa
We have the following in two- to six-year-old grafts, mostly two-gallon and larger pots. The quantity available for many things is generally quite small and we urge you to list a few substitutes or fax and check availability before you order; we can sometimes supply larger specimens but the price and shipping cost are obviously more, feel free to visit the nursery or inquire about larger things. Some nurseries ship the current winters grafts in spring, we don’t, our two-year grafts were grafted the previous winter. Price has as much to do with rarity as size, and the price basically represents the minimum amount we are willing to part with them for. They get better with age and we are in no hurry to dump them. Dick and Brigitta spend a fair chunk of the winter grafting them and all will be worth hundreds of dollars by the time they reach 6-8’ specimen size. Looked at in that light they are quite reasonably priced, in any event, they are what they are, and if you are unsure we urge you to visit the nursery and pick them yourself, we will not accept returns for size reasons, and we are now quite confident of our sleeve packing method which prevents breakage in transit. Prices are guaranteed only for spring shipment, in fall some of them may change, (many will not) if you are ordering for fall check with us for updated pricing.
