Durkin's Nursery

Grafted Conifer Specialty Nursery. Top products: Grafted Conifers, Beech Trees, Maples, Dwarf Cultivars, Specimen Evergreens. Durkin's Nursery is a family-owned, B&B (balled-and-burlapped) horticultural operation located in the foothills of the Cascades near Portland, Oregon. With over 20 years of experience, owners Mike and Laurie Durkin specialize in the propagation and cultivation of high-quality grafted conifers, including varieties of pine, spruce, cedar, larch, and hemlock, alongside select beech and maple specimens. The nursery utilizes a precise production process where they graft their own stock, using established container-grown rootstock that is transplanted into 1-gallon containers to develop a compact, robust root system before field planting. Catering primarily to wholesale clients, including garden centers, re-wholesalers, and other nursery operations across the Pacific Northwest and the United States, the business emphasizes quality control and personal service. Their catalog features a diverse range of ornamental and specimen trees, such as 'Skylands' Oriental spruce and various dwarf pine cultivars, reflecting a commitment to specialized, small-batch growing.
