Pinus banksiana 'Girard's Weeper' - this plant has upright growth plus weeps. Oddly enough, The ACS Database lists it as a groundcover but I remember being all up and inside it and seeing that it was growing upright on it's own. Another plant I like very much.


All this Uncle Fogy discussion has been cleared up. The plant needs staking to achieve height taller than it would normally ramble if not staked. It is a groundcover if not staked. Uncle Fogy can be grafted to Pinus strobus (any banksiana and vice versa).
