New Tree Plantings

It is now the time to start putting in all our new trees for this year. While it's been a cold winter and early spring, we are hoping that all our new fruit trees and shade trees will do well.

We are proud to plant 6 established exquisite shade and ornamental trees this year.
  • Katsura (1)
  • Northern Red Oak (2)
  • Japanese Snowbell (3)

We put in over 100 native plants purchased from the WSU extension office in Friday Harbor. We just finished putting them in the chicken yards and around the ponds, before this cold spell and snow.
  • Vine Maple
  • Red Flower Currant
  • Red Elderberry
  • Garry Oak
  • Mock Orange
  • Ninebark
  • Red Osier Dogwood
Still to be purchased are this year's berries and fruit trees, along with seeds for the garden. We'll keep you up to date.

Zach.
