Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Pinus parviflora 'Adcock's Dwarf' - A dwarf form of Japanese White Pine. Small needles on short stems. Needles are green with a little twist to the congested needles. Can be flat globe or a upright conical.
An extremely tight flat globose form with short needles that was raised by Adcock, who was at the time the head propagator for Hillier's Nursery.
This slow-growing dwarf was selected at Hilliers' Nursery in England for its grayish color ; dense "congested" growth from buds clustered at branch tips. Sun/Med-Dry
DWARF. Another excellent selection for a small garden, this has a slow growing habit (1-3" a year) and is very dense with short needles.
