Ponderosa Pine
A grandiose native pine that grows throughout the West and is sure to instill a sense of nostalgia in anybody that has grown up around or spent time near them. These trees are grown from seed collected here in the Willamette Valley so they are particularly well adapted to our climate West of the Cascades, but should do well anywhere that Ponderosa Pine grows. A stately conifer with bark that will steal your heart and aromas that will melt your mind.
