ALASKA PLANTS
Local Database
The goal of the Alaska Plants website is to provide information about trees, shrubs, and vines known to be growing successfully in Alaska landscapes. It is intended to help people choose the right plant for the right place and develop landscapes that fit into our native environs. The text is an extensive revision of the 1996 UAF Cooperative Extension publication, Landscape Plants for Alaska: A list of trees, shrubs, vines, and groundcovers for Alaskan Landscapes.
This project was funded in part by our national organization (www.asla.org) through their Chapter Improvement Project (CIP) funding.
