New Texas Pine Could Boost Nebraska Christmas Tree Industry
A Texas five-needle southwestern white pine is now promoted for Nebraskan Christmas tree growers. University forester Karl Loerch notes it blooms dense foliage, blue-green color, and rapid growth, potentially outpacing eastern white pine. Michigan and Texas seed sources underpin trials begun in 1960 with plans to supply Nebraska nurseries in six to eight years.
