Red Tipped Norway Sprice at the High Country Nursery
Serving the San Jacinto Mountain communities since 1971, the High Country Nursery is a year-round retail nursery located in Anza, California in southern Riverside Country.  Nestled in a valley, at an elevation of 4030 feet, we are able to grow plants that are adaptable to climate and altitude, for both lower elevations and all of the southern inland mountain communities.

Our Variety
We have a large variety of plants in stock including drought resistant California natives, rare and unusual conifers, cold hardy cacti, shrubs and a colorful perennial selection.


Our Climate Zones
There are different types of zones used to determine a plant's ability to withstand extremes in climate:


Sunset zones determine cold hardiness, heat tolerance, and other factors such as wind and length of growing season. Currently Anza is a Sunset zone 7, along with Julian, Warner Springs, Mountain Center, Pinyon Pines and Idyllwild. Pine Cove is Sunset zone 2b. USDA zones determine cold hardiness, and are determined by the lowest winter temperature in your location. Anza is a USDA zone 8 with minimum temperatures between 10-20 °F. If your winter minimums are 0-10 °F, you are a USDA zone 7!

If you have any questions about cold-weather or high desert landscaping, don't hesitate to ask! Plants from High Country Nursery are among the most hardy plants found anywhere, able to tolerate climate extremes including frost and drought.
