Hardy Drought
Hardy Drought
What are those droopy drunk looking pines? I love them.?
Now that I am a homeowner I have been looking for trees to plant. I have been noticing some Pine Trees where the tops list to the side and the branches look tired. They are so awesome looking. Are they hardy and Drought Tolerant once established? Thansk!
Thanks David. They are not quite that droopy. They are erect to the top and have a normal conical Pine Tree shape. Just a little droopy.
Thanks David. They are not quite that droopy. They are erect to the top and have a normal conical pine tree shape. Just a little droopy. I can't find one to take a picture now that I need one.
Thanks Bonsai Guy, but still too droopy. The western cedar at this site is closer (about halfway down) but when I do a search for wester cedar they don't look like this.

It's just a weeping form of what ever pine you're talking about. Take a picture and let us take a look. Most likely its a White Pine. Pinus strobus 'Pendula'

Cacti and Succulents for Cold Climates: 274 Outstanding Species for Challenging Conditions
USD 26.10 There are many reasons to grow cacti and other succulents—they're drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and they look great. But what about hardiness?

Cacti and Succulents for Cold Climates is filled with inspirational portraits of 274 plants that can be used to create drought-tolerant gardens, as well as tips from regional experts who have mastered the art of growing cacti in parts of the country not usually associated with high temperatures or a scarcity of water. Expert Leo Chance describes how to prepare planting beds, how to get plants well established, how to handle cacti during planting, how to protect plants from cold winters, and when and how much to water.

High and Dry: Gardening with Cold-Hardy Dryland Plants
USD 23.07 Gardeners in the Interior West and Great Plains face a daunting challenge: a harsh, semi-arid climate of scorching summers and brutally cold winters. These climatic extremes rule out many standard garden plants that thrive in areas with greater rainfall and more moderate temperatures. Yet there is a wide variety of native plants that are not only beautiful but provide highly satisfactory choices for the western garden. In this comprehensive volume, Robert Nold describes the best picks among perennials and annuals; grasses; bulbs; rock garden plants; cacti; yuccas and other similar plants; shrubs; and trees-more than a thousand plants in all. Leavened with humor and rueful wisdom, Nold's pithy descriptions zero in on each plant's outstanding ornamental characteristics while giving the reader an accurate idea of what to expect from the plant's performance in the garden. With very few exceptions, the recommended plants can be expected to thrive without supplemental irrigation once established, and tolerate winter temperatures as low as -10F (-23C). Throughout, the book is illustrated with vivid color photographs and a selection of exquisite botanical watercolors by artist Cindy Nelson-Nold. Anyone with an interest in hardy, drought-tolerant plants will find in these pages an abundance of tempting possibilities with which to experiment. Indeed, High and Dry can serve as a highly useful tool for resource-conscious gardeners everywhere.

Requiem for a Lawnmower: Gardening in a Warmer, Drier, World
USD 16.95 In 2002, while the western United States was undergoing its severest drought in recorded history, home gardeners and professional landscapers alike turned to hardy native plants to replace their thirsty exotics. Xeriscaping-literally, "dry landscaping"—emerged from the shadows of traditional gardening to become the trendy if not dominant inspiration for garden design. In Requiem for a Lawnmower Sally and Andy Wasowski offer a timely manifesto on this more naturalistic approach to gardening, "working with Mother Nature, not fighting her." Consisting of practical advice as well as calls to action, the Wasowski's professed hope is that Requiem for a Lawnmower "will send you into the garden-and the voting booth-with a fresh perspective."

15lb Turnip Food Plot Seed 3.3 Million Seeds
USD 69.95 Turnips are both cold-hardy and drought-tolerant. They can be planted late-even as a second crop-and provide high-quality grazing late in the fall. Turnip planted in July will provide grazing from September to November. The most vigorous root growth takes place during periods of low temperature (40 to 60 F) in the fall. The leaves maintain their nutritional quality even after repeated exposure to frost. Turnips grows best in a moderately deep loam, fertile and slightly acid soil. Turnip does not do well in soils that are of high clay texture, wet or poorly drained. For good root growth turnip needs a loose, well aerated soil. May be seeded alone or with grasses. Establishment Rate: Seed when ground temperature reached 55 degrees or above. Seeding Rate: Broadcasted -> 6-10 lbs/acre. Drilled -> 4-6 lbs/acre Seeding Depth: 1/4"-1/2" deep in well prepared seedbed. Seed Count: 220,000 per pound.

15 Black Mulberry, Morus nigra, Tree Seeds Hardy, Adaptable, Edible Fruit, Attracts Birds, Wildlife Food, Shade Tree, Drought, Salt and Wind Tolerant By Seeds and Things
USD 1.29 The Black Mulberry is an ornamental as well as a fruit bearing tree. It has a crooked, wide-spreading habit; dark red, purple, or black fruit, at 1", the largest of the genus. The Black Mulberry is a medium sized deciduous tree usually only to 20 to 30 feet, but can reach 70 feet. Trees are known to be very long lived and can bear fruit for several hundred years. Mulberry trees are either dioecious or monoecious, and sometimes will change from one sex to another. The flowers are held on short, green, pendulous, nondescript catkins that appear in the axils of the current season's growth and on spurs on older wood. They are wind pollinated and some cultivars will set fruit without any pollination. Cross-pollination is not necessary. Mulberries prefer deep, rich soils, but they will tolerate thin gravelly soil, rocky slopes, dry sites and other difficult areas, such as wet or alkaline soils. For this reason, they can be used for erosion control. They produce reliably in frost pockets and exposed areas. Mulberries need full sun, but otherwise, are one of the least "fussy" of the fruit trees. Although they appear so, fruits are not true berries but an aggregate. The berry-like fruit have a unique tart-sweet taste. The black mulberry is generally considered the best tasting of the various mulberry species. The berries can be eaten out of hand or used in any way that other berries are used, such as in pies, tarts, puddings or sweetened and pureed as a sauce. Slightly unripe fruits are best for making pies and tarts. Mulberries blend well with other fruits, especially pears and apples. They can also be made into wine and make an excellent dried fruit, especially the black varieties. Birds are also attracted to the fruits in large numbers; in fact, some people plant mulberries near their cherry trees, since the birds are reputed to enjoy the mulberries even more.
