Japanese Black Pine |
This variety of pine is both rigid and twisted, reaching 12'-20' tall and 10' wide. It has an irregular shape, and the short, contorted branches eventually produce a canopy-shaped tree. Bright green needles are 4" long. New foliage, called candles, are white colored. Cones are oval shaped and brown, about 3" long. This is a great tree for an outdoor Christmas tree or for bonsai. It needs full sun and a moderate amount of water.

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
