Pinus banksiana ‘Al Johnson’
Al Johnson Jack Pine has an open framework that gives it a weathered, individual character. Green needles contrast with silver bark and conspicuously resinous shoots.
Its uneven branching makes it a useful focal point among rocks or lower evergreen plants. Allow the outline to develop naturally, with space around the branches.
Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Water the root zone during establishment and leave room for the branches to develop.

• Width: 8 ft; larger with age
• Height: 10 ft; larger with age
