Product Description

Pinus albicaulis is one of five pine species worldwide classified as a “Stone Pine” — trees distinguished by their large, dense, and wingless seeds. Stone Pines are unique in their total dependence on birds and animals for seed dispersal and the ultimate survival of their species.

Whitebark Pines turn out clumps of dark purple-brown, egg-shaped cones, drizzled in resin and ripe with heavy, nutritious seeds. These seeds are a staple food source for a variety of animals, especially the Clark’s Nutcracker, a rowdy, black-white-and-gray jay, which makes Whitebark Pine seeds its principal food. This bird has a special relationship with Whitebark Pines, and is the chief promulgator of the Whitebark Pine species throughout its wide range. Clark’s Nutcrackers greedily collect Whitebark Pine seeds, and then hide the seeds in secret hoards throughout the high country. A forgotten seed stash is where most Whitebark Pine seedlings start life, and is why Whitebark Pines are commonly seen growing clumps of several trees that have originated from a single cache of seeds.

This 100% guaranteed grow kit provides everything you need to germinate some of the world's largest and most interesting tree species from a seed. Complete with the growing medium, a mini-greenhouse, and detailed instructions, this kit will lead you through the whole process from cold-stratifying your seeds to germination and transplanting.
