How to Identify Different Types of JBP

[junmilo]

Hi all,

I'm going to pick up some JBP next week from a local guy.

One is rough bark and the other is regular JBP...

here are the photos





So i'm new to this, how do i know if it's a rough bark and how do i know if its normal? and i still can't tell the difference between a JBP vs Euro black pine, or mugo or so on..

THanks

Juan

That is a good question.I guess it is up to the propogator to put the name tags on them.Your Pines look very interesting.I like the way the grower is letting the sacrifice leaders grow to increase the quality of the trees.

None of these are mature enough to really tell, but in almost every case, named cultivars are deliberately propagated to reproduce the specific cultivar, so efforts are made to maintain the integrity of the identity.

If you are asking if one is a corkbark, most of the time (99%), corkers are propagated by grafting known cultivars onto standard JBP seedling stock. These do not appear to be grafts, they look like wired seedlings.

This summer, I posted several black pines at different ages to share how bark matures. Take a look here:

The first one has nice taper and movement...have fun.

Hi thank you. Just curious, how can you tell it's a JBP? not a Euro Black Pine?

Thank you
