Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This lovey and distinct pine from the Mediterranean region is drought-tolerant and can quickly colonize disturbed areas. As such, it is often used for reforesting in warmer areas. Generally reaching 40-60'high and occasionally up to 80'. This conifer is somewhat sparse in form, featuring 2-4" needles which are a bright, fresh green and extremely narrow. With age, its beautiful bark becomes deeply fissured in shades of deep browns and oranges. S/M-D
A big billowy tree, native to the whole Mediterranean region. Its shape resembles more that of a cottonwood, and reminds me of the big clouds of summer thunderstorms. It grows best in Coastal and Desert areas like the Southwest and California. It is hardy to zone 8, perhaps colder. The Aleppo Pine is fast growing and makes a spectacular specimine tree. One is enough to shade a small yard, and a small group can feel like a forest. They grow over 100 ft tall and nearly as wide. For sale are seedlings in small, 2 & 1/2 inch pots.
