What is the difference between Pinus Pinea and Pinus Pinea "Silver Crest". Is it the same species but with a fancy name ? I have done extensive googling and did not find any information at all.

Black spruce with black cones

Went on a hike where a forest of isolated jack pine somehow came to be. Cool to see so many cones on it that wait for fire to open up.

What type of pine - nova scotia

I've seen this grove of conifers for many years, but I've never been able to determine exactly what they are. I'm sure the answer is very simple. Recently I've toyed with them being beyond western hemlock and possible a sequoia?? Does anybody know what type of trees these are? This is in northwestern Washington. I snapped pics of the pinecones and trunks, but the needles were too high up to get a close up. Any help appreciated.

I love the looks of weeping conifers that can be directed but some are slow growers. What’s the fastest?

Bad araucaria dad or has USPS struck again?

I planted this conifer back in May this year, it was green and looked well for the first month or so and it’s has gone brown as you can see in the picture. I planted a few other conifers around the same time that are green and look to be growing. 

Is this dead or will green foliage return next year?

Is this conifer dead? 

I've decided to start growing what I believe to be an evergreen and a blue spruce. I won't know for sure until they grow, though!

Any advice on the issue with this newly planted Conifer hedge would be greatly appreciated. It's a Thuja Brabant hedge planted just outside Gothenburg, in Sweden.

The ditch was dug and trees planted by a company for me. The dirt was newly added and has lots of moisture in it. The trees came in a root ball, but the company that planted them took the juta net off!! I'm wondering if that's the cause? They also seem to be planted a little shallow, should I replant them?

Thanks in advance.

Is this tree too far gone? 

This Arizona Cypress has gone from thriving to this in 2 months. It was left unattended, with only 1x week deep water. Not sure the exact issue yet (been treated for pests & fungus). It's endured some serious heat stress but did fine last summer. 

Before trying any other intervention, is it I'm even possible to come back? This looks very bleak. 

If so, what's the next step to try? 

Thanks in advance (gardening newbie, please be kind)

What kind of tree is this?

I need some help. I recently (legally) acquired longleaf pine seeds in northeast Florida, but I’m finding conflicting information on the best way to germinate. The instructions they came with said plant and wait up to two months to germinate. Other places say to cold/moist stratify? Scarify? Anyone know the best way for sure? I want to do my part in restoring longleafs in NE Florida. Thank you.

I have this conifer that starts from the ground. Would it be better if I cut the bottom branches and opened it up like 4 feet? Would it look funny?
