Next to the rock work in importance and even more important unless 
the rocks are good and construction excellent are the members of the 
pine family. They are not at all difficult. Good loam; good drainage. 
Here we grow them in the open to the surprise of English visitors. 
Where sun is savage, a light shade is beneficial. In a general way, the 
low more prostrate forms should be planted at high elevations in the 
rock garden to conform to the windswept slopes of mountains. The 
slender spire-like and pyramidal small trees should progress up the 
slopes to represent the tree-clad hills below tree-line. The rounded 
domes and weeping forms are best as accents by themselves or against 
a rock. At any time of year they add character that is beyond color to 
the rock garden.
