Winter Tree Dreaming: Columnar Eastern White Pine - Winter 2019
Another day, another 'tree dreaming' post here on the blog. And guess what? It features another columnar form tree , of course. But this one is a conifer. If you've followed along on the blog, you'll know that I'm pretty far behind when it comes to conifers in the landscape. I included this note in my 2019 "to do list" that called for 'adding more conifers" . I added eight in 2019 (see results here ), but six of them were TINY. I mean... TINY . Those six Canadian Hemlocks ( now five ) aren't going to be meaningful in our garden for many years. Still have quite a bit more work to do, I think - and especially as I think about replacing the (LOST) Weeping Cedar . This post is about a variety of tree that we haven't planted yet: a pine. This is called a Columnar Eastern White Pine tree that Monrovia lists as being hardy all the way down to Zone 3. Here's a photo from Gertens : Note: This is not my photo. Found it via Ger
