Pinus
« on: May 20, 2018, 06:15:07 PM »
I like most conifers, but I am especially fond of the Genus Pinus. The new growth in the spring is especially attractive, and every species is different. Here are some examples:

Pinus nigra subsp. nigra




Pinus nigra subsp. salzmannii



Pinus pseudostrobus



Pinus densiflora



Pinus hwangshanensis
