LONGLEAF PINE

Pinus palustris

Master Gardeners recently added a Longleaf Pine to Row 4 of the CPP Collection (Certified Plant Professionals Collection) which is planted with hundreds of other types of trees, shrubs, vines, and groundcover. It is just a few feet tall, but the mounds of pine straw it may yield are already being dreamt about!

Read more about this pine HERE.

P.S. It is surrounded by more of our 'Ice Follies' Daffodils.
