A pine of distinction, the Ponderosa pine, or Western Yellow Pine, grows to 50m ( 164ft ) but will remain somewhat smaller in most gardens. Long needles and an open branch structure make for an elegant silhouette.
One of the most elegant specimen pine trees you are likely to see in temperate gardens. The long drooping needles seem to shimmer in the slightest breeze while the colour seems to change from green to blue to silver and back to green again. The ellipsoid female cones can reach 12 inches long....
This tree is a true living fossil and one of the oldest known conifers still surviving today. Slow growing, individual trees can live for centuries, if not millennia. Well suited to temperate coastal climates, this tree will be the focal point of any garden. Occurs in mixed middle altitude cloud...
This conical conifer has downcurved branches, fissured, red-brown bark and gray-green leaves. Height is 80-260 feet. Excellent (though ultimately very large) specimen tree.
Curious, cone-shaped "knees" grow above the soil in particularly wet sites. These knees help stabilizes the tree. Bright green, two-ranked leaves turn rust colour in the autumn before falling. This columnar deciduous conifer eventually reaches a height of 39 meters (130 feet).
Evergreen conifer with flattened needles with silvery white bands beneath and pendent leading shoots. Produces small ovoid female cones that are pendent. Height to 80 feet.
