Yep! From seed collected southeast of Saltillo in NE Mexico. Specimen now at RBG Edinburgh.

Resin

Nice one! I hope it grows to be mature there.

Salicaceae,
A single post to say I've enjoyed all of your recent "obscure subtropical conifers" posts. Even though I probably am not going to grow any of them. Do you have Pinus lumholtzii? It would be nice if the highest elevation collections of it were zn 7 hardy...it's a pretty one.

Resin, by saying "_now_ at RGBE" do you mean this photograph was taken in a prviate garden before it was moved to the public Garden? Because I cannot believe the vaunted Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh would have a border of loose bricks like that!

Ooops, of course I meant RBGE...not RGBE.

"Resin, by saying "_now_ at RBGE" do you mean this photograph was taken in a prviate garden before it was moved to the public Garden?"

Yes

This is my absolutely favorite pine! Forest Farm had them available for a very short period of time. Ours succumbed, too much water while overwintering in the container, and I'm looking for a source...please anyone know of one?

This tree drove home the issue that your collection is only as good as the people you have watering it...

Who should I blame when roughly 40 inches of rain fell in the 40 days surrounding Hurricane Irene?
