Meet Paul and Bill Paul, our grafting expert, has over 40 years of experience in the nursery trade. Bill retired after 27 years as a research scientist from the pharmaceutical industry and now is responsible for rooting cuttings. Our nursery, established in 2003 provides the highest quality rare plants to the enthusiast and the novice. We are located near the Michigan lakeshore, surrounded by orchards, vineyards and blueberry farms less than 10 minutes east of South Haven, Michigan. The nursery is nestled on a 71 acre parcel of land with over 10 acres of native wetlands for exploration, in addition to a 1 acre pond. The adventure began as a hobby with the two of us having a lifelong obsession with plants. Over time, we developed a keen interest in dwarf and miniature conifers and began collecting witches brooms, grafting and propagating the more unusual specimens. We are long-time members of the American Conifer Society (http://www.conifersociety.org/ ). We propagate most of our plants through grafting and rooted cuttings in addition to growing some plants from seed. Paul and Bill are always seeking out the newest plants with the most extraordinary characteristics. We welcome your suggestions to help shape Blue Horizon into a special destination for all to enjoy. Cultivars Grown From Nature's Own Mutations As collectors we felt there was a lack of “out of the norm” plants in most nurseries. What makes Blue Horizon varieties truly remarkable is that many of our cultivars originated from witches brooms. These are natural spontaneous mutations that are rare and possess unusual qualities. We hunted these natural treasures down and using expert grafting techniques now produce plants with extraordinary characteristics. At Blue Horizon, you’re not just getting something rare; you’re taking home a one-in-a-million living specimen, shaped by a passionate partnership of science and nature. Cultivars Grown From Nature's Own Mutations What Our Customers Have To Say... GEM OF A NURSERY! “A wonderful hidden gem of a nursery! Beautiful grounds to walk through. The variety and uniqueness of their trees, bushes, and shrubs is inspiring. Definitely worth checking out!” Kellie French Customer Review …Can’t Find Anywhere Else “I almost can't believe you've built ROME in such a short time. What a selection of plants, shrubs, and trees I’ve never seen before. My mom said the Copper Harbor Juniper I got her is the most amazing plant she’s ever seen—turns from green and yellow to shimmering metallic copper in the fall. Phenomenal!” Jim Traill Customer Review You’ve Built ROME! “Excellent selection of plants, especially conifers you can’t find anywhere else. The display garden is top notch. When I asked other nurseries about Cryptomeria, they looked at me like I was speaking gibberish—these guys knew exactly what I meant and had a great selection of healthy plants.” Matt Anderson Customer Review Claim Your Spot Beautiful, Fully Grown Displays Sure To Inspire Our FREE Preview: Join The Rare Collector’s Preview Every week, plant collectors from across Michigan and neighboring states join us for a guided walk through rare conifers, Japanese maples, and limited cultivars you won’t find in ordinary nurseries.

We’d love to ship someday, people ask us all the time. But for now we’ve chosen to stay focused on what we do best: growing exceptional plants and helping people select them in person. This is how we make sure that every plant we sell, and every person we meet leaves better than when they came in. Do you help with plant care or placement? Absolutely. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience…we will suggest the perfect light, soil and water requirements for the plants that you purchase Does Blue Horizon order plants from other places? We source a number of our plants from the West Coast, where the climate runs ahead of ours allowing us to get a jump on the season. Additionally, we source from other areas of North America As demand continues to grow, our unique, homegrown supply can’t always keep up, but we stay committed to sourcing only standout, head-turning varieties you won’t find just anywhere. How often do you get new plants? Most new plants arrive in Spring although we have a huge stock already available at the nursery. We also augment our selection throughout the growing season. What are your most popular plants Our Japanese maples and rare conifers are favorites of those wanting to create landscape statements. Is it worth driving out? You’ve seen the pictures, stop thinking about it, go get the car started. Do you offer Gift Certificates? Yes, we offer gift certificates in any denomination. Contact us for specifics.

Mini Twist White Pine - Pinus strobus ‘Mini Twist’ Z3 5-6’H x 6’W Full Sun to Part Shade Mini Twist is a unique white pine that when young tends to develop as a globe eventually developing as a wide upright form as it ages. It’s needles are blue-green and twisted giving it a whorl appearance. It is slow growing gaining only a couple inches in height per year making it perfect for rock gardens and in general smaller planting spaces. It can also be pruned as a bonsai. Mini Twist prefers moist well-drained acidic soil. Call To Check The Bench Wondering About Availability? Tell us what you’re hunting for… We’ll check the bench and hold it while you drive.
