Evergreen Trees

When it comes to iconic trees of the American West, the Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) stands tall, both literally and metaphorically. Known for its towering stature and distinctive bark, this tree species holds a special place in the hearts of those who appreciate the beauty and resilience of nature.

Native trees are well adapted to local climates, to support native ecosystems and wildlife. With the vast and beautiful topography that Washington State has to offer, landscaping with native trees is a wonderful way to reconnect with nature. Some may wonder, should I landscape with trees native to Washington State?

Sturdy, resilient evergreen trees make excellent privacy screens and wind breaks, as they are long lived, tolerate cold climates, and maintain attractive foliage all year. The distinguishing characteristics of these evergreen trees can be found in needle and cone shape, bark characteristics, and shedding habits. 

We’re excited to let you know that you can now schedule an appointment to purchase plants at Garden Gate this year.

Hello from Garden Gate, With the mild fall into early winter, we had a new experience with our trees still going out until Christmas, and even into the first week in January. However, winter arrived about January 10th in Pasco and then the dreary cold high fog would not go away as most of you experienced.

Merry Christmas to each, as we stop to celebrate the new kingdom ushered in by God’s own Son Jesus Christ. May the peace He offers be the experience of all.
