Pinus heldreichii seed

LATIN NAME: PINUS HELDREICHII

COMMON NAME: Bosnian Pine

The Bosnian pine towers the medium, evergreen conifer with the dense, upright, dark-green needles in the pairs and the smooth, silver-grey bark, the needles toweriing over the neat, conical crown, the small, egg-shaped, pale-brown cones following. The tree grows slowly into the tidy, columnar form, and it stands the cold, the wind and the chalky soil well. It likes the sun, and the well-drained soil.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The dense, dark crown of the Bosnian pine gives it a recognised place in the research on the high-mountain, wind-resistant pines of the great pine group, and the heldreichii species appears in the studies of the cold, windy-height survival and the needle chemistry. The work looks at the way the tidy column stands the chalky ground, the windbreak value, and the seed biology. The horticulturists value the slow form, and the growers of the cold-climate specimen and avenue conifers keep the species in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the cool garden, the Bosnian pine towers the cool garden with the neat, conical form. The dense, upright needles give the fine specimen and the windbreak, the cones feed the birds, and the timber serves the building. It grows well in the well-drained, sunny ground. Dense-crowned, silver-barked and wind-tough.

To grow the Bosnian Pine from seed, rest the seeds in the damp sand in the cool bag for the month, then sow them into the sandy drills of the tray, keep the tray in the bright, open spot and water lightly.

Rest the seeds in the damp sand in the cool bag for the month, and pot the young trees on as they grow. The tower form comes over the years. , and the young trees break through over the spring. The tower form will cone within a few seasons.

Pinus heldreichii Pinus leucodermis

\n\n\n\n

Pinus heldreichii ‘Malink’ is an upright, pyramidal, dwarf selection of Bosnian pine with dense branching and attractive, dark-green needles. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 4 feet (1.3 m) tall and 20 inches (50 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of 4 to 6 inches (10 – 15 cm).

\n\n\n\n

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the late 1980s by Tånum Planteskole, Randers, Denmark; and introduced to the nursery trade in the mid-1990s by Werner Wüstemeyer’s nursery in Recklinghausen, Germany. Occasionally, one may see this conifer incorrectly listed under the Latinized cultivar name, ‘Malinki’ or ‘Malinkii.’
