This has happened several times now where something nipping the tops off my newly sprouted pine seedlings.

Got it as part of the conifer society collectors conifer of the year program.

We lost a few mature trees and my plans for the garden have changed since I ordered it. Looking to trade for something smaller/something that likes shade. Doesn’t have to be a conifer. Comes with the fancy metal plant tag - can send pics after work

Apologies if this isn’t allowed.

Hi I believe this is a Sitka spruce. Will this turn into the pine cone or is this a flower?

I’m new here just trying to learn!

Finally showing some amazing red, very excited to see this little thing progress, year 3 now.

One of my favorites.

I have tried on multiple occasions to start Cedar (Cedrus) seeds from various reputable vendors. I've tried cold stratification in soil and sand for different amounts of time (from 2 weeks to longer). With very very limited success (maybe 1 out of 30 germinated). Does anyone have some tried and true methods?

My garden favorite.

Never seen needles growing out of male cones. It seems to be a canary island pine.

I’m looking for online nurseries that sell small, rare-ish cultivars. I used to love Evergreen Nursery but their site is down and nobody is answering their phone number.

A couple years ago, I ordered a few size 1-2 Wansdyke Silver & Sherwood Frost thujas for ~$10 a piece from them. They’re doing great but now I’m looking to get 4 more of either cultivar. I need them to be small/starter plants though because I want to put them in my window boxes for now and be able to transplant them in a year or two.

Does anyone know what happened to this nursery or could recommend a different nursery that sells hard to find cultivars in small sizes for a reasonable price?

Saved this little guy from being bulldozed in eastern Oregon. Any ideas on species or care?

I have grown this araucaria from seeds, it grew relatively fast after germination, but after a month or two its growth became extremely slow. This tree is now 7 or 8 months old and is only 3 centimeters tall. I have seen others grow monkey puzzle trees from seeds and at this point they are way larger than mine. I think the problem could be that the pot is too big for the tree or the soil is too poor, but I'm a little afraid to repot it because I already did it recently and I don't want to stress the tree or damage the roots, so I don't know what to do. I know it's not something urgent, the tree looks alive and healthy, but I'm worried I may have been doing something wrong.

My husband bought these pine bushes last yr. We were wondering if someone could identify them? Tag said they get 7 ft tall and grow 2-3 ft wide. He plans to line the entire edge of our property instead of putting up a fence. Is propagation or air layering possible? I have many house plants trees etc but no pines so I just wanted to get some more information.

Deer got to it a couple years ago. I’ve had no success trying to get new branches to grow in the middle. Any advice?

Longshot, but I was infatuated with the big ones at the Edinburgh botanical gardens. I'm in Philly, PA USA. I read they're easy to propagate from cuttings, so I'd you have one that's in or about to be springtime, I'll buy one of your cuttings from ya.

Cheers all!

The only one I'm sure of is the cypress. The others I've made my best guesses based on location I found them in!

Looking for some pinus pendula....
