Author Garden: mystery pine rozy221 Dream Gardener Member # 3850 posted                       Hi all! I was wondering if anybody could ID this one for me-I lost the tag-I got it just before Christmas-it had a few decorations on it-I've been decorating it ever since-first Valentines, now St. Patrick's, and next week Easter-I've had it in a not-very-well-lit corner of my dining room, and it's done pretty well-put on a lot of new growth-but I've noticed some of the lower brances not looking so good, so I guess it's time to figure out what it is and what it likes. Thanks for the help!

If you take a close-up pic of the leaves and how they are attached to the branch I believe it should be fairly straightfoward to ID your plant. Please show the upper and lower surface of the leaves. Good luck and happy gardening!

I do believe the pic of the first tree you posted is a Norfolk Island Pine, commonly sold around Christmas time. Hear is a link for you. http://www.thegardenhelper.com/norfolk.html Now, correct me if I am wrong, but in your second post, is the first pic a completely different tree than the second? Otherwise, I need to get a new pair of glasses! Seeded: 24.255.50.223 Amy R. guest posted                 Okay, I need new glasses! LOL, I didn't realize it was a great close-up. You must have an excellent camera, rozy(especially from your Flower show pics), as my little digital captures nothing like that!

Now I can take good care of my little guy-I love it-I decorate it with foam cutouts for all the holidays. I actually use my video camara with "zoom" to take these pics-they seem to come out pretty nice on the pc, but not all that great on paper. Thanks for the info!

Guess it depends on the color of the bark? The fact sheet I looked at said it would be ashy white on a young tree and reddish brown on an older one. These trees get upto 200 feet tall. * * * * Plants: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Seeded: 4.249.48.76
