One thing that we enjoy doing at JLPN is promoting new and exciting tree cultivars. We have several tree varieties that we have really spring boarded into the nursery limelight. So if you have a special tree that you plan on patenting or would like to start test trials on in the northwest, we are more than capable of promoting your new plant at all of the 6 trade shows we annually attend. By JLPN marketing your plant at the tradeshows your plant will have exposure nation wide and can help insure greater success and distribution.

Take for instance Dura-Heat River Birch and Summer Red, Red Maple.

Dura-Heat® is a cultivar that we saw a lot of potential in due to its ability to withstand drought conditions and its great peeling bark. We started with 250 stock plants in 2002 and we now produce as many as the market needs and it has been financially beneficial to the patent holder and JLPN.

Summer Red® is one of the most outstanding new rubrum we had ever seen, but it had little exposure on the west coast and was for the most part unknown of. We received grafting material from the patent holder and soon had a large stock block of Summer Red® and the plant is now being grown and tested by many of the largest nurseries in the northwest. The patent holder said he “held us personally responsible for the success and exposure of Summer Red® in the northwest.”

We have a customer list of over 2500 growers and buyers and they all receive our annual catalog. So if you think you have a winner plant or one that is already established and you want greater exposure and distribution, call us and we can set up a program for your new plant!

The sensitivity of holding the next big plant is well understood by JLPN. It’s like holding a potentially winning lottery ticket and we understand the confidence and trust issues associated with turning over a new plant that’s unpatented. We have many references from people we have worked with and developed plants for that would be happy to put a word of confidence in for us.

We look forward to promoting the next big tree.
