Many
quality plants are being produced in containers, generally doesn't
produce a tap root and is easy to transplant; prefers a deep,
moist loam in sun or partial shade; very calcareous soil tolerant.
Description:
One
of the most confusing pines for the homeowner because of tremendous
variability in size. The cute, diminutive, prostrate plant that
comes from the garden center and is placed in the foundation
planting often becomes 10-15' tall and wide although it was
advertised as a 2-4' high, low growing evergreen.
Special
Characteristics:
This
plant can be both a blessing and a curse. Much like a puppy
that is so cute when you bring it home and before you know it
can become unruly and out of control. No two are exactly alike.
