Pinus pumila

[Julio-Rufo]

So, surprisingly this tree ended up behaving like a multi flush pine this year:


Extremely healthy and a lot of growth after first repot into container.

Unwired and wired again today. Almost no green or needle reduction to keep it as healthy as possible for this winter and next spring.

Any recent updates on this one? I grew a flat of seedlings of this species a couple years ago and they survive my winters here by just being placed on the ground, uncovered! Remarkably hardy and beautiful needles also!

I wounder if something isn't spreading from the trees in the background towards your pines

I agree. I would be a little concerned with what is going on with that pine in the background. It is clearly not well. I would aggressively treat you pines with antifungal treatments as preventative.

The tree in the back is OK. Just a big old Austrian black pine getting rid of needles. It does it every year.

They normally do that by the end of summer, similarly to Scots Pines or some 5 needle pines. These shedding is sometimes really aggressive
