After making calls to several nurseries that carry extensive inventory non have this.So I would go on line and put in Conifer Society and contact some of the folks there they will know if they can be had.

| Probably means a collecting trip to Arizona! Not sure if it would cope with VA humidity well though. I suspect you'd have problems with fungal diseases, notably needlecast. Resin |

There's
Pinus x schwerinii
Pinus wallichiana

| I think I can help you. I have a few seedlings and could send one. Definitely should be planted in a dry, sunny site. I have not
seen foliar diseases on it here yet - mine are from Mexico source. |

Many thanks for all your answers.
Gamekeeper you have a good idea and will try to find a conifer society online. Pineresin, a trip to Arizona to collect would be nice but
I have never seen the tree itself so it would be hard for me to know where to look.
I am not in VA anymore but south of SC at this time. Gardener365 how are the ones you suggested different from
engelmannii or are they hybrids ? Pardon me, I have NO knowledge in pine trees :) Salicaceae, you have a very kind offer and I thank you.
Could you please give me your source ? I would very much appreciate it. Pls email me at uneclassyladyatyahoodotcom. |

| "I have never seen the tree itself so it would be hard for me to know where to look" Try the Chiricahua Mountains. There's some around the entrance to Chiricahua National Monument. Another site (with location details) at the link below. "Gardener365 how are the ones you suggested different from engelmannii" Very different! In some ways more attractive, with denser, slenderer, 'silky' foliage, but the needles are only about half the length of Apache Pine needles at best. Resin |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pinus engelmannii forest, Huachuca

Next time I go to AZ and NM I will visit the Chiracahua mountains. I love these states anyway. I agree that the others suggested look very nice specially the Wallichiana.
But for now, I have a fixation on P. engelmannii :)
Pineresin thank you for the links and have a great day. |

| Looked up the society ,it is American Conifer Society with a great website . |
RE: Apache pine (pinus engelmannii)

I will look at the Society Gamekeeper, thank you.
I am surprised by the color of the needles, is it really that blue ? Kind of pretty, I like trees with a blue hue. |

Actually, I just tried the American Conifer Society Gamekeeper and I can't access... it says
""The web address you entered is not available"
I went to...
http://www.conifersociety.org/
Do I have the right link ?
Many thanks and have a great day. PS. does anyone has a list of the best suppliers in pine trees... I mean nurseries that would carry a wide variety ? |

| "I am surprised by the color of the needles, is it really that blue ?" No, I think Clément's photo is too strongly blue-toned, the ones I have seen (both in the wild, and cultivated in Britain) are green to a slightly yellowish grey-green. Resin |
