Grow a tree kit - Bristlecone Pine The amazing Bristlecone Pine is perhaps the world's most ancient living organism. The oldest still living specimen is almost 5,000 years old-that means it is more ancient than Stonehenge, the Acropolis, and even Cheops' Pyramid. Awesome! Bristlecone Pines grow at very high elevations in some of the most foreboding and hostile territory any tree calls home-on exposed, rocky slopes at elevations between 7,000 and 12,000 feet in UT, NV, AZ, CA, and NM. In cultivation, the slow-growing Bristlecone Pine takes on a form quite different from its gnarled subalpine brethren, becoming a symmetrical, even luxuriant tree, fully clothed in dense, very dark, shimmering needles, and growing to heights of around 25 feet. The trees needles are often flecked with white dots of resin, and its woody cones bear the tree's namesake bristles. The astounding longevity and amazing hardiness of the Bristlecone Pine make it a fascinating choice for ornamental planting in a diverse range of climates. Highly suited to container growing and smaller gardens. Growing this tree from seed is a magical and fascinating experience for people of all ages. Our seed germination kits give you everything you need to germinate tree seed - seeds, growing medium, a mini-greenhouse, and detailed instructions.

Grow a tree kit - Ponderosa Pine This grow kit gives you everything you need to successfully germinate a Ponderosa Pine tree. 100% guaranteed! The mighty Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) is often regarded as North America's "most important" pine tree. It dominates forests in every western state, and is widespread in Canada and Mexico, as well. Pinus ponderosa is known by many names throughout its vast range, including Western Yellow Pine, Blackjack Pine, Bull Pine, Heavy Pine, Longleaf Pine, and most commonly, Ponderosa Pine. In Montana, Ponderosa Pine is celebrated as the State Tree. This impressive, wide-ranging species tolerates an amazing diversity of climates, altitudes, and soils, and can live for centuries, growing to heights of over 300 feet, with soaring, column-like trunks more than 8 feet across. A slow grower in its first decade, Ponderosa Pine grows faster as it ages, ultimately acquiring a magnificent physique, characterized by muscular branches; burnished tufts of long, green-gold needles (5"-13"); large, cinnamon-red cones; and a regal-looking, almost perfectly straight trunk, richly clad in great plates of bronze-colored bark. Ponderosa Pine tolerates heat and drought, and is extremely cold-hardy. It can be cultivated almost anywhere, and is a beautiful and statuesque tree at every stage of its life.
	Grow Kit - California Poppy Code: JC05 Price: $6.75 Quantity in Basket: none
Grow Kit - California Poppy ABOUT CALIFORNIA POPPIES: The California Poppy, Eschscholzia californica, graces many a sun-drenched meadow throughout California and the Southwest with its brilliant orange, saucer-shaped flowers. On bright days, the poppy's silky petals open to greet the sun. At dusk, the golden blooms close into tightly fluted repose. Eschscholzia californica, was first described to the scientific community in the early 19th Century by a German naturalist, Adelbert von Chamisso. Since then, the flower has gained admirers the world-over, becoming the State Flower of California in 1890, and winning the hearts of gardeners everywhere with its welcoming beauty and the ease with which it grows. Always friendly and neat in appearance ­ a popular flower to press ­ the California Poppy features a compact, upright form, lifting its famous orange blooms 12 to 18 inches above a finely cut bed of lacy, bluish-green foliage. In milder climates that resemble its native California, the poppy is a perennial, blooming throughout the spring and summer, reseeding itself freely and generously. In colder regions, poppies must be reseeded by hand each spring in preparation for their summer colorburst. A swath of California Poppies brings a vivacious splash of color to virtually any open, sunny area, and they are as fun to grow as they are lovely! ABOUT JONSTEEN'S POPPY KIT: A FIELD OF POPPIES! There's enough seed here to plant an entire meadow full of poppies ­ almost 30,000 seeds in all! Scattered in an informal, wildflower planting, this seed will cover about 1,400 square feet, or an area roughly 38' x 38'. Approximately 70% of these seeds will germinate. WHAT POPPIES LIKE: Poppies love dry and sunny places and well-drained, sandy soils. They are quite drought-tolerant, but don't like relentless high temperatures. Cool and sunny is their favorite combination. Water sparingly. THE BEAUTY OF POPPIES: Poppies are very pretty in cottage gardens, rock gardens, and casually mixed into other wildflower plantings. They make a fantastic color accent, and thrive in most any open, sunny area. They are not at their best in small containers, and can be transplanted only when very young. WHEN TO PLANT: In colder climates, sow your seeds in early spring. In milder regions, plant poppies in fall. NOTE: In climates without cold, deep frosts in winter, poppies are perennial ­ re-seeeding themselves naturally and generously year after year!
