Pinus uncinata 'Zelenac' 23W50 Mountain Pine R2- (Hooked Point Cones) Mountain Pine, Size at 10 years: 8x12in., green, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed R2 for 5.3 YEARS (Stanley). Planted in 2018.

American Conifer Society: Pinus uncinata, as described in 1805 by Louis-Florent-Marcel Raymond (1915–1972), ex Alphonse Louis Pierre Pyramus de Candolle (1806 - 1893), in Flore Française. Troisième Édition, by Jean Baptiste Antoine Pierre de Monnet de Lamarck, and Alphonse Louis Pierre Pyramus de Candolle, is commonly known as Swiss mountain pine, or mountain pine; as well as pin à crochets in the French language; and pino negro in Spanish. The species name, uncinata ("hooked point") refers to the pronounced prickle present on the seed cones.

Many authors consider this pine to be a subspecies of Pinus mugo, i.e. P. mugo subsp. uncinata.

Closely related to Mugho Pines. Limited info. on Zelenac ~6.5in, Feb 2019.

Picea abies 'Pendula' 23W50 Norway R2- (Weeping Spruce) Weeping Norway Spruce, Size at 10 years: 15x4ft., short needle, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month 5-, In Garden Bed R2 for 12.6 YEARS (MSU,). Planted in 2011.

Michael A. Dirr: 'Pendula' may be the generic name for a number of weeping types. No two are exactly alike, but all tend to splay their limbs in a wild, often awkward, weeping configuration.

Can be allowed to grow horizontal or trained up or on a fence. This one is from Iseli Nursery in OR. 12in. growth per year. -30 F. Full sun. Planted in 2011. Orginally trained up. Now coming back down. Planted in 2011.

Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Pendula’ is an unusual weeping cultivar of Norway spruce. It is an irregularly shaped evergreen whose form will vary considerably depending upon its early training. Unless staked and supported, it generally does not grow upward, but instead will mostly spread along the ground as a woody ground cover.
