    I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for non-native shrubs and or trees that would grow well in Whistler, B.C. (Zone 4- I've been told). I am helping a friend with the design of their garden and would like to introduce some appropriate non-native plants to the native planting palette. I have only recently moved to Whistler, so I'm not very familiar with how plants perform in this plant hardiness zone. I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions anyone might have. Thank you kindly.

    Some conifers from Europe that would succeed:
    Pinus cembra
    Pinus peuce
    Pinus heldreichii
    Pinus sylvestris
    Picea abies
    Larix decidua
    Juniperus communis

    Soil? Exposure? Existing plants you are trying to harmonize with?
