Books & Guides
Reference books for going deeper than our own care guide covers.
A note on this category: we now stock a genuine live true pine (Pinus mugo, the Dwarf Mountain Pine) alongside a Dwarf Alberta Spruce — which is honestly a spruce, not a pine, included as the closest alternative we could originally find. Beyond that one live pine, stock is still mostly seeds and growing kits rather than ready-grown trees; if you want a more developed established pine specimen, you may have better luck at a specialist bonsai nursery than on Amazon. See our care guide for what to expect growing pine from seed.
