Yes, the bark is supposed to do that!


Ask any plant geek and they will tell you this plant is one of their favorites.  And again, very hard to find 6' specimens!  Lacebark Pine, Pinus bungeana, as an extremely showy exfoliating bark as you can see.  Like most pines it prefers full sun and well drained soils.  A very slow grower that eventually reaches 30-50' tall and 20-35' wide but here I would suggest it will take a long, long time to get there.  We have just a few for 2010 and I'm betting Matt Ruud will be taking one home as well.
