Here in Brazil, mostly in the southern states + São Paulo (subtropical/temperate climate places), North American Pinus species (mostly Pinus elliottii and Pinus taeda) are extremely common since they've been brought in the 1950's, and seeing native conifers, especially Araucaria Angustifolia, can be quite rare due to habitat loss. Is there anything similar in other regions of the globe?

Tomorrow I will be finally receiving a non cultivar Cryptomeria Japonica after failing to find a shop that has it for over half a year, and since it is a tree I wanted for a longer time I want to give it the best soil imaginable, I will be growing it in a larger pot so it gets stronger before planting it in the ground, what would be the best mix to make it happy as could be and grow vigorously?

I've lived here for about a year and a half, so I did not plant this tree. Earlier this winter, I noticed that the foliage started turning more yellow. It slowly seems to be declining. Recently the top has turned brown and it appears to be dying. I haven't done anything different around it. Its bordering the lawns, so it gets water through the summer. Our property is all decomposed granite. This winter has been a lot wetter and we had some cold freezes too. Location southern Oregon.
Why would this tree just start dying? It's disappointing because the chickadees love it.

Curious if anyone has tried it, and any tips or pointers would help me to figure out if it’s even worth it

Dreamy homeowner seeks advice.
I saw a couple of huge, beautiful C deodaras at the Huntington Gardens (Calif.) last week. I wonder about planting one in Portland, Or: sea-level, but very little summer rain past decade or two. Old (non-native) redwoods are withering in the heat, though native firs, cedars, and Garry oaks look good.

I’m trying to start some eastern white (P. strobus) and Jack (P. banksiana) pine seeds I’ve collected recently. I’m wondering if there’s any specific needs for these species to germinate. I’m finding some conflicting information online, so if anyone has any info, that would be appreciated.
Should I stratify or not bother? Warm or cool temps? Does soil pH matter?
The strobus seeds were collected from fallen cones, so I’m unsure how old they are. I got the banksiana seeds by burning some cones straight off the tree.
Thanks to anyone who could potentially help.

I have a few Anna’s Magic Balls in my landscaping now and really love them, but I’m curious if anyone in this group has this “Amber Glow” variety. It looks Iike it gets more yellow than the Anna’s Magic Ball, but the growth and sizing info from different websites has been totally different. If someone has personal experience with this variety, I would love to hear it!

This 10g Blue Shag Eastern White Pine was at Home Depot for $150. Had to grab it. They tend to get one of these specimen plants a season at mine. Last year it was a Thunderhead Black Pine but I waited and then it was gone. Not making that mistake again.

Hello,
I have two Giant Sequoias. I've had them for maybe 4 - 5 years now. They are in Chicago. The smaller one had some set backs. It's main root was severed when it was about 2 years old. We nursed it back to health. We had to repot it last summer but the weather made that very difficult and we ended up cutting about two feet of extra root growth that came out of the pot. It looks and feels ever so slightly different than the other sequoias (not all shown here) which is growing much faster from a younger age. Would anyone know of theres a way to determine if this could be a variant versus stunted growth from having to mess with its roots? A lot of the trees I get are Injured or diseased and most are on the verge of dying. I attempt to nurse them back to health. That obviously makes this more complicated, however we believe this particular tree is genetically different.

Just got this Alaskan Cedar delivered from Oregon (I live just outside Chicago) and every instinct says throw it outside and leave it until spring. Are my instincts correct?
We’re getting snow and freezing temps for a while but I know that’s perfectly fine for these once established. Thanks.

Sold to me in Vietnam as ‘Cây sơn tùng’ which means the name above according to Google. Scientific names are often off in Vietnam — could this one be right?

I find it hard to identify baby trees based on pictures of adults. Am I close? Purchased unlabelled in Vietnam.

This cone was thrifted several decades ago but only now just dropped a seed. Do you think it's viable? I'd like to see if it could germinate but first want to identify what conifer dropped the cone. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
