Schoodic Jack Pine
A dense, prostrate form of Jack pine with emerald green needles, this slow-growing seedling selection can drape down a wall or spread out in a low mass on a bank. Even after 30 years, a very old specimen only gets about 3′ tall in the center and 15′ wide. Numerous cones have a high percentage of viable seeds that make some interesting seedlings. Selected about 1970 by Alfred Fordham, Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts from seed collected on the Schoodic Penninsula in Massachusetts.
