Korean Evodia
It is a good honey plant and the foliage looks good all summer. White flowers are borne in mid summer and are quite showy. This plant's small size will allow it to be used in restricted spaces, keeping in mind that it is as wide as tall. The Korean Evodia, 'Evodia daniellii' is one of the few flowering trees that flower in the summer, rather than spring. The bark of older stems and branches resembles beech(smooth gray bark). Fruit remains during the winter and adds interest to an uninteresting time of year. This plant appears to do better in good soils and seems somewhat intolerant of impoverished soils. ... additional information
Bristlecone Pine The Bristlecone Pine, 'Pinus aristata', is a type of pine tree that can reach an age far greater than that of any other living thing known - up to 5,000 years. In cultivation it proves slow, bushy, dark and enduring of difficult sites. Looks aside, bristlecone pine is famous because in its arid mountain home of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, it can live for thousands of years. It is dense in growth, the shoots set with dark, short needles, five per bundle. The cones which occasion its names are indeed tipped by slender spines or bristles. |
