Pinus patula, commonly known as the Mexican Weeping Pine or Mexican Yellow Pine, offers a unique aesthetic to any garden or landscape. These seeds, available at Shaw Green Trees, grow into elegant trees with distinctive, drooping branches and vibrant, long, slender needles that create a soft, weeping effect. Native to the highlands of Mexico, Pinus patula thrives in cooler climates, making it well-suited for the UK environment. It’s particularly noted for its fast growth and adaptability to a range of soils, although it prefers well-drained, acidic conditions.
The Mexican Weeping Pine is a perfect choice for creating visual interest in large gardens or public parks, thanks to its unique form and the gentle rustling sound of its needles in the breeze. By planting Pinus patula seeds, you’re not just cultivating a tree; you’re nurturing a striking landscape feature that will grow in beauty year after year.
With proper care, these trees from Shaw Green Trees can become a long-lasting, verdant addition to your outdoor space.

Natural Germination: Pinus patula seeds naturally require a period of cold stratification to break dormancy. This process can be achieved naturally by sowing the seeds outdoors in autumn, allowing the cold winter temperatures to stratify the seeds. The fluctuating temperatures and moisture levels of winter and early spring provide ideal conditions for germination.
Artificial Stratification: For artificial stratification, Pinus patula seeds can be mixed with moist sand or peat and stored in a refrigerator at around 2-5°C for a period of 4-6 weeks. After this period, the seeds can be sown in a warm, well-lit environment, such as a greenhouse, to encourage germination. This method mimics natural winter conditions and prepares the seeds for successful sprouting.
