< Back Pine, Mountain (PINUS MUGO) - 'Pumilio' Hardy evergreen shrub with short, dark green needles and a compact, dense, spreading habit of upright branches. Adorned with small, dark brown cones and unique 'candles' of new growth. Grown mostly for its beautiful foliage and low, open, spreading habit. This slow-growing, naturally dwarf version of Mugo Pine is hardy and adds color, lower level of height, and texture to landscapes. Relatively low maintenance, but can be pruned as needed. Drought tolerant. The somewhat globe, rounded form of 'Pumilio' reaches about 3-4 feet tall and 6 feet wide, but is capable of spreading further while maintaining its relatively low height. It grows best in full sun to partial sun and is hardy to USDA Hardiness Zone 3. Of the small conifers, this is the easiest to grow in gardens and is often used as an accent or in mass plantings, or in rock gardens in combination with boulders. Popular as an evergreen contrast in perennial borders; adds texture variation when planted with other dwarf shrubs. Best used amidst other dwarf shrubs needing texture variations. Although relatively trouble free, it may be susceptible to wind damage. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Reduce watering frequency once established and water when the top 2 inches of soil become dry. Fertilize in the spring before new growth appears with a general purpose fertilizer. Grows best in enriched, loamy, and well-drained soils but is not particular to soil type or pH and is able to handle environmental salt. Highly tolerant of urban pollution and drought tolerant. It will not thrive, and may even die, in standing water. Low maintenance, but if pruning is desired, only trim back the new growth of the current season; remove dieback as needed. Previous Next

< Back Lilac Tree (SYRINGA PEKINENSIS) - 'Copper Curls' 'Copper Curls' Pekin Lilac is a new introduction of a species that features showy, airy plumes of fragrant creamy white flowers rising above the foliage from late spring to early summer.

Will not tolerate standing water, but is not particular as to soil type or pH. Highly tolerant of urban pollution.

A lovely accent shade tree, 'Copper Curls' has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 5 feet from the ground. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 50 years or more.

< Back Spruce, Colorado Blue (PICEA PUNGENS) - 'FASTIGIATA' A popular cultivar of the Colorado Blue Spruce due to it's columnar nature and tidy, tight habit, 'Fastigiata' is a narrow, upright tree with stiff bright blue needles. It adds vertical interest to the landscape and incredible blue color making this narrow selection the ideal accent or focal point where space is a consideration. Although it will broaden at the base with age, it will maintain it's tight, upright form that can also be sheared if needed. Since it will not grow as tall as the species, nor as wide, it is the perfect choice for planting in a smaller area. Although several different nurseries indicate different sizes of this specimen, most agree that 'Fastigiata' will reach 20-30' in height and 6-10 feet in width. Our supplier says it should reach 30 feet tall and 10 feet wide under ideal conditions. Rated by the USDA Hardiness scale at zone 3, 'Fastigiata' is cold hardy and tough. Colorado Blue Spruces are listed as a selection in the University of Wyoming "Conservation Trees & Shrubs For Wyoming" guide. It has a moderate growth rate of 6-12 inches per year and needs full sun and well-drained soil. In general, Colorado Blue Spruces can be susceptible to needle cast, canker, and rust. Aphids (particularly spruce gall aphids), scale, budworms, and bagworms can also be an issue. Spider mite invasions can cause significant problems with new growth and overall tree health.
