$35 choose and cut. Scotch Pine and White Pines Hold their needles the best of all Christmas trees. The picture shows dug trees for planting, but we have really nice big trees to cut for Christmas trees too. Scotch Pines have more rigid branches than white pines, so will hold slightly heavier Christmas armaments.
Scotch Pine (Pinus Sylvestrus) These are probably Van's 31 or Van's 33 strain. We have gotten lots of great seedlings from Van's Pines. I hope the new owners are keeping up the same quality as the previous owners did. If you plan to plant teeny -weenie little Scotch Pine tree seedlings, where they are kind of an unknown quantity (unlike these big trees where you can see what you are getting), be real careful which strain you buy. There are some awful ones, like Burgose and Guadarama, I think they are, that have a terrible Orange needle color in the winter. That kind would require copious artificial coloring with Green-Zit or something if you wanted to use them for Christmas trees. They are sheared with the intent to grow them to Christmas trees, but occasionally we offer dug ones to plant too. |
