Anticipating snow overnight so no doubt I will have some snowy tree photos. I really need to learn to identify trees in the winter better
ReplyDeleteSB: it was planted in 2007, I guess as one of the small size first offered. It's now a good deal taller than me, single straight stem. It's growing in (acidic) wet clay - there are permanent (it seems!)puddles within 1m of it - in light shade. Survived -17 in Dec 2010. What's your pH?
ReplyDeleteStunning pics John
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteMy pH is around 7 here.I see where your going with this, I am sure these trees prefer a more acid soil. Interesting to hear your pine is thriving in the wet . This is contrary to the advice Kew gave when we purchased our trees.
As an aside we are missing you in Oxford,the AGS ask me to be a panel member at the gardners question time. Things are clearly getting desperate!
