Evergreen Trees and Shrubs
New! This strikingly beautiful fir tree comes from the mountains of Korea. We first saw this tree several years ago at a high elevation residence in Casper's south side and it stopped us in our tracks! We've been looking for it ever since and we found it available from our grower! It features dark green (soft) needles that are recurved back to show bright, silvery white undersides, making the irregular branches appear to glow! As the tree ages, it produces eye-catching steel blue to violet cones that sit on top of the branches. Skip this tree if you want a fast growing tree (averages about 2 - 4 inches of growth per year). Yet, if you are looking for a speciman evergreen tree, you will be rewarded with this one. Must have good draining soils, water logged clay soils will kill this tree. Zone 5 in the literature, Casper experience suggests zone 4. Available in July.
Austrian Pine (Pinus nigra) Austrian Pine is natively found in western Europe extending to Asia Minor and named for the country of Austria, a cousin to our native Ponderosa Pine, except it has denser foliage which makes it a champion in the windbreak or as a large screen. early in it's life, the Austrian Pine will have branching right to the ground as it matures it will loose these branches exposing the thick plated brown bark. Tolerant of most soil types except soggy clay.
New! It may not be new to the trade but we couldn't pass up this beautiful dwarf spruce for our customers. It is slow growing, dense, yet broad with light green needles on spreading branches rising up slightly with nodding tips. A perfect evergreen for the rock garden or specimen use. Will do best if it's shaded in the hottest part of the day.
This has its origins from the North Dakota Badlands, a dry windy exposed setting, making it one of the most hardy ground cover junipers on the market today. It has beautiful dark green to blue-gray foliage with blue cones. A perfect addition near drive way entrances, you never have to prune to see over the top. It is good along patios and a way to step down from higher perennial plantings.
 Blue Prince Juniper
(Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Prince') 
New! This one hales from the windswept praires of Alberta, Canada. This horizontal juniper only gets six inches tall with a spread of five feet making it ideal to drape over timbers and rock walls. The standout feature besides being extrordinarly rugged is the intense blue hue it has to its's needles that really comes into play in the winter garden. One could find many uses for such a carefree shrub! Tolerant of most soils so long as they drain well. Can be grown in clay so long as its kept on the dry side.
 Douglas Fir
(Psuedotsuga menziesii) 
New! This is a Wyoming native found at mid elevations in our mountains. Prized as a Christmas tree because of it's soft dark green needles, woodsy fragrance and classic pyramid form we've come to associate with evergreen trees. The literature is quite emphatic that this is a tree that needs consistent moisture in the soil but our experience in Wyoming suggests it can handle long periods of dry conditions after it gets established. Vastly underutilized! One of the largest evergreens on the market, but will probably take a lifetime to get to mature heights.
Fat Albert Spruce (Picea pungens) An outstanding blue form with a naturally straight central leader and strong apical dominance giving it a reliable, well shaped form.
 Sky High Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum 'Bailigh')
New! This is a naturally occuring columnar rocky mountain juniper with its heritage from the wind swept prairie of North Dakota! Just as hardy as the woodward juniper we offer, except it has a silvery blue appearance to its needles. This Juniper will work great as a beautiful visual screen, as a hedge or as an accent plant in a tight place. No pruning will be needed to keep its columnar form. Tolerant of most soils including clay if kept on the dry side. Very drought tolerant once established! Available in mid-summer.
Table Top Juniper (Juniperus Scopulorum ‘Table Top Blue’) Upright, yet spreading and flat-topped (now that’s an oxymoron!). Foliage is the soft-scale type (not prickly like common pfitzer) bright blue-gray in color. Handles wind and when established, drought too! This native sport is not an imported disease and damage–prone selection. This is a big bold statement of a shrub perfect on a slope or for privacy without blocking out the sky like a tree. Windbreak and screen.
Vanderwolf’s Pine (Pinus flexis ‘Vanderwolf’) A distinctive, densely branched pyramidal selection of our native limber pine. Its branches display long twisting blue-green needles with a light blue line on the undersides, very pleasing visually. This is a great replacement tree for Colorado Blue Spruce. Like other pines, it will not perform well in slow to drain heavy soils.
 White Fir
(Abies concolor)
New! This is a native to our neighbors mountains to the West (Utah) and South (Colorado). This is an evergreen tree that is vastly underutilized in the landscape. It has the appearance of a Blue Spruce but is more drought and wind tolerant! Unlike spruce, the white fir has soft flat needles that won't poke you - an added bonus should you happen to run into it when mowing the lawn or hanging Christmas lights. The needles are a blue/silvery color making for a great contrast in the landscape. Like all evergreens, White Fir likes well draining soils, it will perform in clay provided its kept on the dry side.
Wichita Blue Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum ‘Wichita Blue’) This is a cultivar of our native Rocky Mountain Juniper that withstands drought and high winds once established. It has attractive feathery, silvery-blue foliage on an open pyramidal form. Excellent for windbreaks and visual screening.
New! This is the same wichita blue juniper we carry, except it is in spiral form for use as a speciman tree! Usually these trees cost at least 50% more because of the increased management ie., pruning to get it in this form, but our grower reduced the cost and we jumped on them!
This is a selection made at the Cheyenne Experimental Station that has never been widely available in the trade. Very columnar, but unlike many forms does not exhibit the typical muti-leader type growth indicative of columnar forms of juniper. Branches tend to develop witches' broom-type growth.

Siberlocke Korean Fir (Abies koreana 'Hortsmann's Siberlocke') 
Bird's Nest Spruce
(Picea abies 'Nidiformis') 
Blueberry Delight Juniper
(Juniperus comminus depressa ‘AmiDak’
Wichita Blue Juniper - Spiral Form
(Juniperius scoplulorum 'Wichita Blue') 
Woodward Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum 'Woodward')
These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant death.
