From the misty spruce forests of Scandinavia to the sacred cedar groves of the Himalayas — our nursery carries rare and heritage conifer seeds collected from exceptional parent specimens, carefully sorted and shipped to gardeners and foresters worldwide.

Whether you are planting a windbreak, establishing a living privacy screen, or growing a single specimen tree, our catalog has the right species for your climate, soil and goals.

Why grow conifer trees

Purifies the Air Conifer phytoncides actively destroy airborne pathogens — science-backed forest therapy growing right in your garden.
Year-Round Green Beauty Evergreen by nature — conifers bring structure and colour even in the depths of winter when everything else is bare.
Outstanding Noise Barrier Dense evergreen foliage absorbs traffic noise far more effectively than fences or deciduous hedges.
Longevity & Legacy Most conifers live 100–1000+ years — a single seed you plant today can shade many future generations.
Our varieties

Conifer Seeds Available in Our Catalog

Blue Spruce

Picea pungens

Striking silver-blue needles. Hardy, ornamental, wind-resistant. One of the most popular specimen conifers for parks and large gardens.

Norway Spruce

Picea abies

The classic Christmas tree. Fast-growing, majestic, cold-hardy to zone 2. Forms a perfect conical crown. Excellent for windbreaks and forestry.

Scots Pine

Pinus sylvestris

Iconic orange-red bark, blue-green needles. Extremely cold-hardy, drought tolerant. Thrives on poor, sandy soils. Magnificent at maturity.

Siberian Cedar Pine

Pinus sibirica

Legendary edible seeds (pine nuts). Extremely cold-hardy. Slow-growing, long-lived — a tree for generations. Produces edible cones after 20–30 years.

Himalayan Cedar

Cedrus deodara

Graceful drooping tips, silvery-green needles. One of the most elegant conifers. Needs a sheltered spot; rewarding in milder temperate zones.

Silver Fir

Abies alba

Flat, soft needles with silver-white undersides. Upright cones that disintegrate on the tree. Prefers cool, humid mountain-type conditions.

Common Juniper

Juniperus communis

Hardy pioneer species with aromatic blue-black berries. Highly adaptable — dry slopes, chalk, sand. Slow-growing but nearly indestructible.

Thuja

Thuja occidentalis

Dense columnar form, aromatic scale-like foliage. Perfect for hedges and privacy screens. Frost-hardy, easy to shape, fast-growing.

English Yew

Taxus baccata

One of the longest-lived trees on Earth — specimens over 5000 years old exist. Slow-growing, dense, shade-tolerant. Iconic for formal hedges.

R

Torreya

Torreya spp.

Rare and endangered genus. Sharp, yew-like foliage, edible seeds. Collector's tree with great ornamental value. Contact us for current stock.

How to Grow Conifers from Seed

1

Cold Stratification

Mix seeds with moist sand in a sealed bag. Refrigerate at 2–5°C for 4–8 weeks (species-dependent). This breaks dormancy and signals spring to the seed.

2

Sowing

Sow 1–2 cm deep in free-draining seed compost. Keep at 18–20°C. Most species germinate within 2–4 weeks of removal from cold stratification.

3

First Year Care

Grow on in bright indirect light. Water consistently — never waterlogged. Protect from hard frost in the first winter with fleece or a cold frame.

4

Transplanting

Move to final position after 1–2 years in early autumn. Handle the rootball carefully — most conifers dislike root disturbance once established.

5

Established Growth

Once established, conifers need minimal care. Water in drought, protect from deer when young. Shape lightly in spring only — never cut into old brown wood.

6

Autumn Sowing (Alternative)

Sow outdoors in late August–November and let winter provide natural cold stratification. Simpler and often gives higher germination rates for most species.

Stratification & Germination Reference by Species
Species Stratification period Germination (after sowing)
Spruce (Picea spp.) 4–5 weeks 2–3 weeks
Pine (Pinus spp.) 3–4 weeks 2–4 weeks
Fir (Abies spp.) 6–8 weeks 3–5 weeks
Cedar (Cedrus spp.) 4–6 weeks 3–6 weeks
Juniper (Juniperus) 12–16 weeks Irregular — may take 2 seasons
Yew (Taxus baccata) 18–24 months 2–3 years (slow, worthwhile)
Thuja 4–6 weeks 2–4 weeks
Torreya Contact us for adviceVariable

Frequently Asked Questions about Conifer Seeds

We carry spruce (blue, Norway), pine (Scots, Siberian cedar), fir (silver, Korean), cedar (Himalayan), juniper, thuja, yew (Taxus baccata), torreya, and more. Our stock changes seasonally — contact us via WhatsApp or email for current availability and to reserve specific species.

Autumn (late August to November) is ideal — sow outdoors and let winter provide natural cold stratification. In spring (April–May), sow after completing artificial stratification in your refrigerator. Both methods work; autumn sowing is simpler and gives the highest germination rates for most species.

Mix seeds with slightly moist sand or peat in a sealed zip-lock bag. Label with species and date. Place in the bottom of your refrigerator (2–5°C) for the required period — typically 4–8 weeks. Check monthly for mould; if found, rinse seeds and replace the medium. After stratification, sow immediately at room temperature.

Not at all. Conifers are among the most resilient plants to grow from seed. They tolerate sandy, acidic and nutrient-poor soils and handle partial shade better than most trees. With correct stratification, expect germination rates of 60–85% for most species.

Pine needles grow in bundles of 2–5 from a single point; spruce needles are single, stiff and square in cross-section; fir needles are flat and soft, leaving a round scar when pulled. Pine cones fall and stay whole; fir cones stand upright and disintegrate on the tree; spruce cones hang downward. Growing conditions: spruce tolerates wetter soils; pine thrives in dry, sandy ground; fir prefers cool, humid mountain-style conditions.
