Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana) is a cold hardy tree of northern forests. Its serotinous cones can remain closed around small branches for years and usually open in the heat of a forest fire.
This seed was collected from a stand of large, healthy trees near the nursery. Young trees grow slowly at first and are often only a few inches tall after their first season.
Cold treatment is not required, although two weeks cold may make germination more uniform.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 2
Seed Source: Manitoba
