'Wintergreen' refers to its habit of staying green in winter, rather than taking on the characteristic bronze tone of the species and many of the cultivars. Here is the ACS description.

Oh so they are pretty much the same as the species except for its ability to stay green in the winter. Huh, might as well get this one and grow it in a pot this spring. Thanks!

Oh btw, do any of you know the average lifespan of these trees are?

Longer than mine...

Do you mean longer than your actual age? I hope you are old then lol. But judging from your pic you don't look quite old yet... I just hope these trees live at least 80 years

Well I'm 60 but I bet that 80 for these trees is not out of the question. Sometimes the way you grow trees affects their lifespan - I think that many have longer lifespans if you grow them 'hard' - not too much water, not too much fertilizer. But I may be wrong. Someone who knows better should opine.

The largest Sciadopitys that I know of located in Astoria, Oregon.

Here's one of mine that was bent over pretty hard in a wet snow a week ago. I hope it straightens out soon. It has been broken off before right where this one is bending.

The Bungeana pine has been ravaged by an elk. I think I can save it, but it will be awhile before it looks decent. The Magnificum Cercidiphyllum is coming out because this area needs a reshuffle to correct mistakes of the past.

There he goes again, rearranging plants like furniture. ;-)

Any Idea how tall it is exactly? Both pics

WAG. Maybe 50 or 60 ft.

Mine is only about 10 or 12 ft. depending where the top is. :-)
