(Pinus albicaulis)
Whitebark pine is native to the mountains of western Candada. Known for its bright white bark, it grows at high altitudes and in cold, dry climates. It has needles in bundles of five, yellow-green and 3-8cm long. The sizeable seeds are dispersed by birds which the trees rely on to spread the seeds over long distances.
Germination: Soak in water for 24 hours. Cold stratify for 120 days. Plant 2-3cm deep in a moist soil substrate.
Packet contains at least 25 seeds.
