    A medium-size selection with long silver-blue needles and a tight conical form. The selection was made at the University of Pennsylvania's Morris Arboretum - a world class location by any standard!

    Dense, soft, silver-blue needles make this handsome evergreen tree a real treasure. The foliage makes this 15-25' pyramidal conifer sparkle, especially in the moonlight. This delightful cultivar was selected by Morris Arboretum and makes a terrific specimen plant. S/M-D/GDr

    This is a pyrmidal slow growing pine to 35' with green curved needles that cover the branches that are clear to the ground. You'll like this one from, as the mname suggests, the Morris Arborium in Philadelphia.

    By: Greer Gardens Inc.

    Right up there with P. parviflora in our esteem is Pinus koraiensis and this selection from the Morris Arboretum is all good. Good compact grower with exceptional blue foliage, this Korean Pine will grow a foot a year so in ten years maybe 10' high by 5' or 6' wide. Grafted.
