Pine Identification

A member of our club acquired a Yamadori Pine and has asked me to identify the species,
I reckon its a "Beuvronesis",with its tiny foliage dark buds & bark, but!! if anyone knows different
please let me know and I will pass on the information to our club member.
BTW the coin is an GBP.

Looks more like a cedar than a pine. Maybe its just my eyes.

The new growth looks like a pine to me. I think I see candles. But what is "Beuvronesis?" And what is GBP?

I vote for cedar, maybe spruce

Hi Bill the clue was in the thread "Yamadori Pine" Beuvronensis...Pinus Sylvestris [ornamental Scots Pine].
re- GBP..Great Britain Pound

Since this made me curious, I made some research and I have found this

In Pinus sylvestris had a number of cultivars such as P. s Beuvronesis and P. s Watereri, which is also suitable for bonsai creation.

The above quotation is from a russian (or anything similar) webpage and the original goes like this:

Iš Pinus sylvestris kilo keletas kultivaru tokių kaip P. s. Beuvronesis ir P. s. Watereri , kurios taip pat yra tinkamos bonsai kūrimui.

which I found out that is in Lithuanian language and the translation is the first quotation.
So Bill you are right about p. sylvestris

What the!!!!
Was this a game?

So Bill you are right about p. sylvestris[/quote]

Did you mean Alex ,Bill didn,t mention P.Sylvestris I did!!

Hi Alex,

Watereri tend to be very, very blue and needle length varies greatly so I would tend to favour A N Other maybe cultivar Beauvronensis.

But aren't both grafted more often than not?

Could also be a natural dwarf or grafted other? The yellow tinge is probably winter colour

I bought a teeny New Forest yamadori at JOB Bath last spring that has very small needles but not so dense and picea-like as these

No help at all I guess

Thinking again

Some kind of a mugo maybe?

Sorry! Mick its NOT! a game you misunderstand, the point I have been trying to make

Thanks for the feedback ,the only thing I know for certain is it was collected a lot
of years ago from a Pine Forest here in S.Wales, planted in a flower pot for years then
re-planted in a garden for the last 18 months along side 2 Sylvestris and 1 Mugo[coincidently]
from the same forest.

Sorry, Alex!
So, it seems that you are at the right side when you mention p. sylvestris.

Hi Alex.
As far as i know Beuvronensis is a dwarf cultivar.
On your pine; also Pinus silvestris - Scots pine can make in certain circumstances such small needles,
also in nature i experienced myself with collecting.

Hi Alex

I think it is a 'Bovi,' was it an urban yamadori collection rather than from the wild? I only ask as it seems very short-needled; then again maybe it was collected a while ago and needle reduction has or is being carried out. I have one but mine is a grafted dwarf variety.

If it was a forest tree it will not be beuvronensis, waterii or any other dwarf cultivar as they are grafted and not used in forest plantations. Have tou a pic of the whole tree and what its planted in? Sylvestris in pot cultivation will produce small needles.

Hi Will, it was definitely collected in a forest and yes it was in a plant pot for a lot of years!
which I think is a major factor in the needle size,I will get a photo of the whole tree and post it.

Alex, this 'pine' seems to be nutrient deficient, notice the yellowing of needle tips. This could be a factor in the small needles, thus hard to id.
