One Green World

Rare Fruiting Trees and Shrubs from Around the World

One Green World is a Portland nursery with a catalog of more than a thousand varieties of fruiting trees, shrubs, and vines, many of which are impossible to find at an ordinary garden center - from Chinese jujube and Chilean maqui wineberry to Australian red-fleshed finger limes and Asian persimmons. The nursery also carries berry bushes, nut trees, olive trees, subtropical fruits, and drought-tolerant plants for xeriscaping.

The catalog includes rare fig varieties like the black Marseilles and Black Mission, a cranberry-flavored pomegranate, the seedless Glenora grape vine, and the Carmine Jewel bush cherry. For dry corners of the garden, the nursery carries drought-tolerant manzanitas and mangave, and for anyone chasing something more exotic, subtropical fruits that can establish even in Oregons cooler climate with the right care.

The nursery regularly hosts seasonal tastings and harvest celebrations, where visitors can sample different fig and berry varieties on site and get advice from staff who grow these plants themselves. Orders ship nationwide, and in-person shoppers can pick out plants and take their purchase home the same day.
