About Us

My obsession with trees started by chance one day while mowing my yard in Nevada. I happened upon a seedling growing under my Afghan pine (Pinus brutia Ten. var. eldarica). I dug it up and planted it in my front yard. I was hooked. I went around town collecting fallen cones and extracting the seed. I read on the internet a trick to separating the good seed from the bad. Afghan pines germinate easy and I had about 40 seedlings growing in pots when we decided to move to Oregon.

Here in Dundee, our property is lined with Port Orford Cedars (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana). So it seemed natural to grow them as well. We have been growing trees at our home for over 5 years now.
