WELCOME
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that will not work."
Thomas A. Edison
Greetings!
The quote above sounds exactly like what goes on around here when we are bringing
a new plant into culture and production. We hear it all over the building: “need more
cuttings, they all died” “the dang thing won’t multiply” “hey, big breakthrough, we
got 10% rooting!” And my personal favorite: “what happened???? It looked great
yesterday!”
Edison also said “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to
succeed is always to try just one more time.” And so we do. We are RELENTLESS in
our efforts to bring our customers new plants and to improve the quality of those they
are already getting from us.
We’ve got a boatload of new material in the pipeline, with more and more being
added every day. The new Geraniums from Marco van Noort are becoming quite
popular. We have several new selections of hazelnut from the breeding program of
Dr. Shawn Mellenbacher, and many new items we are working on exclusively for
specific growers. While we don’t get to shout about that “secret” stuff, it is fun to see
it in trade show booths, catalogs and in the field all around the country, and the world.
We are adding staff and expanding our facility, building new culture rooms upstairs to
handle the additional demand. And we continue our focus on streamlining our process.
Our team is enthusiastic and energetic. These are exciting times at Microplant.
Thanks to our fabulous customers for their loyalty, support and friendship. And for
encouraging us to keep working on attempt number 10,001.
If you are planning a trip in our area, please give us a call to arrange a visit. We’d
enjoy showing you around.
Sincerely,
Gayle Suttle, General Manager

WHAT WE OFFER | WHAT WE’VE GROWN
We offer our plants in two different forms: Stage 3 Rooted Plantlets are one to two inches tall
with well-formed in vitro roots already developing. Stage 2 Microcuttings are essentially the
same size, but lacking roots. Both Rooted Plantlets and Microcuttings are ready for greenhouse
planting under tented mist or other high humidity apparatus.
Minimum order for Microcuttings or Rooted Plantlets is 1,000 per variety.
Over the past three decades, we have had the fantastic challenge of working on a broad range
of plant material, with the goal of producing large numbers of plants for the trade. In most
cases, we have been forced to write the book as we go along. It is still being written! This list
represents more than 50 Genera and 500 cultivars we have produced in quantity. There are
at least three times as many that we have attempted and/or are currently working on. Is it job
security or insanity we are after? It’s an open question often debated here. Both fun and profit
are major goals. Let’s talk about your wish list.

HAZELNUTS | HONEYSUCKLE
HAZELNUTS
There are very serious disease issues facing the hazelnut industry in Oregon.
Microplant has pioneered the commercial micropropagation of hazelnuts in
an effort to help the industry move forward quickly with selections from the
excellent breeding work ongoing at Oregon State University. While Microplant
makes no recommendations as to which experimental cultivars are best, we
have partnered with many growers here in the Willamette Valley, bulking
up their selections and getting these new cultivars into the field as soon as
possible. All of our hazelnut work is done on a contract basis. Please let us
know how we can help you.
Contorted
Rooted Plantlets
Corylus avellana ‘Contorta’ | Zones 3–9
Also known as Harry Lander’s Walking Stick, this fabulous small (8–10 feet)
tree has a twisted gnarled branch structure providing unique interest to the
garden. In late winter these wacky branches are covered with pale yellow
catkins. Usually this is grafted onto a seedling understock that can throw
numerous straight suckers which the frustrated gardener must prune out.
Ours is grown on its own roots, so we say, “let the suckers grow.” They’ll be
contorted, too!
Hazelnut Red Dragon/
Heather Leyrer
Red Dragon
Rooted Plantlets
Corylus avellana ‘Red Dragon’ PP 20694 | Zones 4–5
This fantastic new contorted red-leaf hazelnut cultivar was developed by
Dr. Shawn Mehlenbacher and David C. Smith at Oregon State University.
Selected for its beautiful rich, dark burgundy leaves, distinct twisting stems and
COMPLETE RESISTANCE TO EASTERN FILBERT BLIGHT. Unlike other cultivars,
the rich dark leaf color holds throughout the hot summer months. Even the
catkins and nuts are dark red! Micropropagation means the entire tree will be
contorted and lends vigor in the nursery at an early age. Mature trees will reach
10–12 feet in height, with a 6–8 foot spread. Unlicensed propagation prohibited.
HONEYSUCKLE
Dropmore Scarlet
Rooted Plantlets
Lonicera x brownii ‘Dropmore Scarlet’ | Zones 4–9
A very hardy, easy to grow climbing vine that reliably produces masses
of long lasting beautiful reddish-orange flowers all through the summer
months. Blooms on both old and new wood. Very showy. Hummingbirds and
butterflies love it.
NEW! John Clayton

lead time, so please book early.
HYDRANGEA
Munchkin
Rooted Plantlets
Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Munchkin’ (NA 73936; PI 658494) |
Zones 5–8
Hop Blossoms
Perfectly named. Everything about this oakleaf is very strong, very small and
very adorable. The smallest of the two selections released by Dr. Sandra Reed
at the U.S. National Arboretum’s breeding program in McMinnville, Tennessee,
Munchkin—after nine years in the field—is only 3 feet tall and 4.5 feet wide.
A product of open pollination with Sike’s Dwarf, this small plant is absolutely
covered with 6.5 inch tall blooms that are held upright, starting out white,
and gradually blushing to a medium pink color. A very dense, compact shrub
guaranteed to provide delight in the garden. Straight from Munchkinland.
Pia Hydrangea
Rooted Plantlets
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Pia’ | Zones 6–9
This little jewel deserves far greater attention from landscapers. Pia is an
adorably small (2–3 foot) plant with adorably small (3–4 inch) bright pink
blooms. It stays pink even in acidic soils, growing best in partial shade. Also
useful in dry flower arrangements.
Ruby Slippers
Rooted Plantlets
Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Ruby Slippers’ (NA 74836; PI 658493) | Zones 5–8
Dr. Sandy Reed at the U.S. National Arboretum shrub breeding program does
it again! Ruby Slippers is a cross between the industry standard ‘Snow Queen’,
and ‘Pee Wee’. Slightly bigger than Munchkin, it sizes up at 3.5 feet tall with a
spread of 5 feet. Perhaps Ruby Slipper’s most stunning attribute is the 9-inch
long blooms that open up white and then quickly blush a pale pink and soon
turn a deep, deep rose color. The blooms hold strongly upright even in rainy,
windy weather. A beautifully compact, colorful addition to the landscape. And
look out for the flying monkeys.

Snow Queen
Rooted Plantlets
Hydrangea quercifolia | Zone 5
An award-winning selection from Princeton Nurseries providing beauty and
interest in all seasons. Large pure white flower trusses are conical in shape and
remain upright even in heavy rains, turning pink when fully mature. Darkgreen oak-like foliage turns red-purple in fall, leaving behind peeling bark and
attractive orange buds in winter. Grows to a height of five to six feet and is
winter hardy.

China Snow™
Microcuttings
Syringa pekinensis ‘Morton’ | Zones 4–7
Selected from the collections of the Morton Arboretum for its graceful,
upright-rounded habit; fragrant white flowers in mid- to late June; ornamental,
cinnamon-colored exfoliating bark; and clean foliage through the growing
season. The parent tree, measuring 40 feet in height with a 35 foot spread,
originated from seed collected in Gansu Province, People’s Republic of China,
by Joseph Rock during the 1920s.
Syringa ‘Declaration’
Microcuttings
Syringa x hyacinthiflora (NA 62975; PI 641804) | Zones 4–6
Another great release from our very own U.S. National Arboretum, based on
the excellent breeding work by the late great Dr. Don Egolf during the 1970s.
A cross between Syringa ‘Sweet Charity’ and Pocahontas, Declaration is most
noted for its dramatically striking dark reddish-purple very fragrant blooms,
outstanding deep burgundy fall color, and open upright growth habit.

white with rosy pink splashes on the edges. Looks like a rose when it is fully
open. Nice healthy foliage and well behaved.

A great introduction by Blooming Nursery. Very compact (12" x 12"), seedless (!), with healthy foliage that adds interest to the garden before and after
bloom time. The blooms are bright apricot to mango yellow with a tinge of
darker color on the outsides—like the inside of a peach. With truly adorable
blooms, this plant should be used much more in the landscape.

bright orange-red, and blooms from early April all the way until Thanksgiving,

RED MAPLE | RHODODENDRONS
RED MAPLE
Red Rocket
Rooted Plantlets
Acer rubrum ‘Red Rocket’ (NA 57772) | Zones 3–7
From the National Arboretum, Red Rocket combines a high level of potato
leafhopper tolerance with a strongly columnar crown, dense leaf canopy
and outstanding fall red color. North Central Minnesota seed source, it may
prove to grow too slowly and defoliate too soon in the southern states, but in
Ohio, size at 20 years is 34 feet tall and 8-foot spread. The market is ripe for a
healthy columnar maple with these attributes and this selection may prove the
best of the bunch.
Red Sunset®
Rooted Plantlets
Acer rubrum ‘Franksred’ | Zone 4
A very popular cultivar developed by Frank Schmidt, Jr. and famous for its
vigorous growth pattern and its lustrous green foliage in the summer which
turns brilliant shades of red and orange in the fall. Red Sunset develops a
beautiful oval-shaped crown reaching heights of 45 feet at maturity. It is a
winner in all senses of the word. Sold only to licensed growers.
Red Maple Sun Valley

of both species. The upright pyramidal form, dense canopy, smaller leaves

branches, resistant to wind breakage. Very hardy and adaptable to various site
conditions. Sold only to licensed growers.
Sun Valley
Rooted Plantlets
Acer rubrum ‘Sun Valley’ | Zones 4–7
A cross between Red Sunset and Autumn Flame by Denny Townsend at the
U.S. National Arboretum tree improvement program. This cultivar is significant
because of its potato leafhopper tolerance, excellent red fall color, but most of
all for its superior round dense form and branch structure. This plant fills out
perhaps the best of all the rubrums.

We are not “just a lab.” We are your partner.
Every year we grow millions of plants—the
hottest of the hot, the newest of the new,
the best of the best—some that are almost
impossible to grow any other way. We
ship them out of the lab as either Stage 2
microcuttings, or Stage 3 rooted plantlets.
Since 1980, we’ve been helping
growers and breeders bring new
plants to market through our
pioneering use of tissue culture.
We continue to break new
ground on the propagation trail.
