PINUS PINE
The very popular Pinus densiflora 'Oculus Draconis'
Please click on logo to return to catalog
The genus of Pinus consists of 91 species from N. America,
Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, N. Africa, Asia, Indonesia and Japan. They
are evergreen trees or shrubs and we are currently growing selections
from 12 species. They are Pinus banksiana, the Jack Pine; bungeana, the Lacebark
Pine; P. cembra, the Swiss Stone Pine; P. densiflora,
the Japanese Red Pine; the Limber Pine, p. flexilis;
the Korean Pine or P. koraiensis; P.mugo known
as the Swiss Mountain Pine; P. parviflora, the
Japanese White Pine; P. strobus, the Eastern White
Pine; P. sylvestris, the Scotch Pine; P. thunbergiana
or the Japanese Black Pine; and P. wallichiana the Himalayan
Pine. We are growing over 40 good garden forms of pinus with some
being very dwarf, P. strobus 'Sea Urchin' 1 foot in ten
years, and some being rather fast, P. wallichiana 'Zebrina'
which will be 12 feet in ten years.
Banksiana Jack Pine
The Jack Pine was until recently not known for any ornamental cultivars, but thanks to the Arnold Arboretum this has changed. The species is known for its extreme hardiness (hardiest of the American Pines) and is very valuable in northern climates. Its natural range is from Nova Scotia to northern New York and west to northern Indiana and Illinois up to Wisconsin and Minnesota. It was named for Sir Joseph Banks, 1743-1820. Quite a number of interesting garden ornamentals are becoming available in the trade and we currently offer two of the best. One is a globose shaped plant and the other is a prostrate one.
CHIPPEWA Here is the dwarfest of the Jack Pines we grow. It is a great plant with very small needles. It will develop into a nice dwarf, compact globe with a good green color. It was raised at the Arnold Arboretum and named in 1974 by Al Fordham and H. Welch. Excellent choice for bonsai also!

| Intermediate |
Upright |
Zone 5 |
The species of Lacebark Pine will grow in its native
habitat of Central China to 25-30 meters high and at an elevation
of 500 to 1800 meters. In China it is frequently found planted near
temples and in cemeteries. It was first observed in a temple garden
in 1831 by Dr. Bunge near Peking and was introduced by R. Fortune
into Britain in 1846. It is a most interesting form of pine and is
greatly underused in modern landscaping. It has a small, densely
branched, often multi-stemmed habit with beautiful bark that makes
it perfect for the smaller garden. The flaking bark creates a beautiful
patchwork of color (white with red-brown, gray, green) underneath. This
starts at about 3 inches trunk diameter. The needles are a nice dark green
color and occur 3 to a bundle. Excellent choice!
'TEMPLE GEM' The Dwarf Lacebark Pine. This is a small, highly ornamental tree that is perfect for the rock garden,
Japanese Garden or dwarf conifer garden. It has highly ornamental
exfoliating bark with green, gray, tan and beige patchwork of colors.
This selection grows about 1/3rd the normal rate of the species
with shorter and thinner glossy needles. This one looks very
promising!!
Cembra Swiss Stone Pine
| Ohio Nursery and Landscape Association Plant Award |
The Swiss Stone Pine, Pinus cembra, is a narrow
conical tree 10-25 meters high in its natural area of Central Europe
to Western Ukraine and Siberia at 1300 to 2000 meters. It does well
in open areas in severe climates and even on north slopes of mountains
with clay soil if it has sufficient moisture. P. cembra has been
around since 1746. It is a great tree for landscapes. We currently offer 4 cultivars that make
fantastic garden forms and all are much slower than the species.
'BLUE MOUND' A very tight conical shape with nice silver-blue
needles. It was selected for its dwarf rate of growth, about 1/4th
as slow as P. cembra 'Glauca, nice blue foliage
and low mounding habit when young. H:3' W:2' in 16 years. This plant
is a rock garden gem and is becoming more popular all the time.
'GLAUCA' This selection is dense and has a slow growing rate
with a real good columnar form and a nice blue-green color. Underused in
modern landscapes.

Densiflora Japanese Red Pine
The Japanese Red Pine or P. densiflora as a
species is a rather broad tree about 30-35 meters high, usually shorter
in cultivation, and has a horizontal branching structure. It is native
to Japan, Korea, N. E. China and Manchuria. Very widely distributed
in Japan. The foliage is usually light green and the needles are
somewhat thin. It was introduced by Dr. von Siebold to the Netherlands
in 1852. We are growing 6 cultivars that are perfectly designed to
fit the small garden and all have interesting features.
'AUREA' Golden Japanese Red Pine. During the year this
selection has a medium-sized upright habit with light greenish-yellow
needles, but in the winter it comes alive with an intense bright gold! The
colder it gets the more brilliant the color. This variety has been
around since 1890. Great accent plant in the landscape.

Flexilis Limber Pine
| Ohio Nursery and Landscape Association Plant Award |
The Limber Pine or Pinus flexilis is a tree
about 12-25 meters tall with a broad rounded trunk and branches nearly
to the ground. It is native to the western North American Rocky Mountains,
from Arizona north through Alberta Canada at about 1525 to 3650 meters
in elevation. It will thrive on moist soils, if well drained, and
is a fantastic small tree for the modern landscape. Introduced in
1861 by Dr. Parry into Britain and now a popular species with many
great landscape varieties. We are offering four nice varieties to
add to your selection.

Mugo Swiss Mountain Pine
Pinus mugo or Swiss Mountain Pine is a shrub
to about 3.5 meters tall in its mountainous native habitat of central
Europe, eastern Spain, and the Ukraine. All of the varieties vary
considerably from seed and could get quite large for the modern garden
so we have chosen the following dwarf cultivars for the small landscape.
'GNOM' Very dense, globose habit, with a good deep green color. A
35 year old plant was about 4 meters high and broad. Distributed in 1927 by
den Ouden & Son, Boskoop Netherlands. Very hardy. H:4'
W:4'
'MITSCH MINI' This cute little bun-shaped plant is one of
the slowest growing of all dwarf conifers and was selected by John
Mitsch of Aurora Oregon. The needles are light green and both them
and the branches are very short creating an impression of a clump
of moss.

open habit with ascending twigs. The needles are long and grey-green-blue
in color. The ultimate height is not yet known but it dosen't seem really fast.
'TANI MANO UKI' The Japanese Snow Pine is a great plant we
have been trying to acquire for a number of years. Well finally it's here.
It has short needles which are blue-green with new growth being all white and
candles in spring are pink. This two-toned effect is absolutly amazing. This
selection is very slow growing and in Oregon a 12 year tree is only
2 feet tall. A must in every garden. Shade is best. Very rare. Limited
quantity!!

it is known as the Weymouth Pine after Lord Weymouth, who planted it
throughout England in the 18th century. It has been in cultivation since
the middle of the 16th century in France. This species has given us many
dwarf and slower growing garden varieties that fit into the smaller modern
day landscape without overgrowing its boundries. We are offering 13
varieties and are evaluating a few more.
BLOOMERS DARK GREEN GLOBE Here is a nice dark green globose shaped dwarf white pine that grows a little faster than Nana. Good selection!

Wallichiana Himalayan Pine
This species has undergone a few name changes in the past and was also known
as Pinus excelsa and P. griffithi. The Himalayan Pine
or Pinus wallichiana is a large broadly pyramidal tree in its native
habitat of eastern Afghanistan, south eastern Tibet and China to north Burma
at an elevation of 2500 to 3000 meters. In open locations it will keep its
branches to the ground unlike most pines. The needles are long (5 to 8 inches)
and thin and are kept for 3 to 4 years before dropping, thereby creating
a dense graceful drooping effect. It was introduced into Britain in 1823
by Lambert.
