Pinus Parviflora

Design with this plant

Overview

Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora) is an elegant, slow-growing evergreen reaching up to 25-50 feet tall and 20-35 feet wide. Esteemed in design for its irregular, picturesque silhouette and soft, blue-green needles, this pine thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Its conical shape and tolerance for pruning make it ideal for bonsai or as a focal point in gardens. Zones 5-7 are optimal for cultivation.
