If you are wondering what kind of garden I might be talking about, consider conifers.
A conifer is any plant that forms cones. We are talking about pines, cedars, cypresses, and junipers of course, but sequoias are conifers too.
Japanese black pine grows 20 feet tall, 10 feet wide, and is sometimes called a natural bonsai tree on account of its sparse habit of growth and clumping needle bundles that are spaced along its branches. No one who looks at this tree can deny its appeal. Aleppo pine and Afghan pine , the latter with its unmistakable pyramidal form, are the fastest growing pines for our area. They are both native to the Middle East and are resistant to drought. Just make sure you give them well-drained soil and plenty of room in order for them to thrive.
The soil in which bristlecone pines grow is rocky and low in fertility. In its high-altitude habitat, the snow may not melt until summer, and the growing season is never longer than four months. Yet somehow these pines endure, probably because the soil they grow in is so poor that no other plants can live in it. Thus, there is no competition for water and minerals, limited as these resources may be.
