2009 Conifer of the Year
Appearing like a broad, cascading waterfall on a mighty river, this form of weeping white pine is an improvement of the very popular weeping tree often used in commercial and residential landscapes. It is dense and full in appearance, with short inter-nodes and numerous branches; all cascading from the highest point the plant is trained to. Brothers Mike and Ken Yeager of Hickory Hollow Nursery and Garden Center and Hickory Hollow Landscapers at 713 Rt. 17, Tuxedo, NY, found this plant in 1998, near Congers, NY. They sent the scions to Iseli Nursery in Oregon, where it was propagated and recently released to the wholesale trade. Be among the select few to have this handsome broad cascade of white pine in your home landscape!
