Pinus coulteri

A young Pinus coulteri.

Like our Pinus virginiana and yunnanensis, it came from Prof. Marchiafava nursery in Tuscany (www.pinirari.it).

It was growing very fast, but a few years after we, lost it after a sudden Armillaria attack.

Larix decidua

One of the two Larix decidua in front of the villa died from Armillaria.

I was very sad and looked for a replacement, although the climate is probably too hot for this Alpine tree.
