SOLD OUT
Lodgepole pine is well suited to western Canada's climate and growing conditions. This native pine noted for its rapid growth among evergreen. And as one of Canada's hardiest conifers, it can tolerate cold, shade, drought, and poor soil conditions.
Bristlecone Pine is a small to medium evergreen with an irregular habit and contorted branches.
This extremely long-lived tree is relatively low maintenance and drought-tolerant.
It is known for its deep green to blue-green needles flecked with white resin, and its thin, scaly, grey-brown bark. Because it is extremely slow-growing, Bristlecone Pine is well suited to smaller properties.
