Fort Collins Wholesale Nursery

Here at Fort Collins Wholesale Nursery we specialize in unusual plants.  One that really stands out is Quercus undulata, the Wavy Leaf Oak.  This great plant is a small tree or large shrub native to the southern Rocky Mountains that is a naturally occurring hybrid between Q. gambelli and Q. turbinella. Thick leathery leaves are blue to green in color and generally have wavy margins.  In a protected site it may be semi-evergreen. These are available from our fields in 5'and 6' clumps, as well as #5 and #10 containers. Zone 4.

· Western Natives

Native plants are not only durable, hardy, and adaptable to our challenging climatic conditions, but they also are beautiful. Their colors and textures have their own unique aesthetic vocabulary that inspires gardeners and designers to create their own unique western-style gardens.  The use of natives also helps promote more sustainable landscapes. They are adapted to the natural environment of the semi-arid western United States.  Fort Collins Wholesale Nursery is proud to offer a top quality line of western native plants.

Most of us know the adage “If we want something done right, we have to do it ourselves.” 

Propagating native plants of the American West is a perfect example of this old saying.  As with many regionally important plant species, it is often difficult – if not impossible – to find them in the nursery trade.  We cannot easily open up the nursery catalogs on our desks and order these plants, so if we want them, we have to grow them ourselves.
