Jack pine 'Uncle Fogy'
FamilyPinaceae
Pinus banksiana 'Uncle Fogy', also known as the 'Uncle Fogy' weeping jack pine, is a highly distinctive ornamental conifer renowned for its irregular habit and drooping branches that give it a sculptural appearance. This selection of jack pine develops a winding and picturesque silhouette where the branches arch and fall naturally, creating a unique form that immediately draws attention in landscaping. Its foliage, composed of slightly twisted medium green needles, adds an interesting texture and remains decorative all year round. Depending on how it is trained or staked, it can form a small weeping tree or a sprawling shrub with a very natural character. Very hardy and tolerant, this pine copes well with poor, sandy, well-drained soils and harsh climatic conditions, making it an excellent choice for northern gardens.
