Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Blue-green foliage densely covers the branches of this open pyramidal pine. But the branches are not uniform throughout which produces an interesting effect: the tree looks much older. Found at the Von Gimborn Arboretum in Doorn, The Netherlands, it grows slowly and maintains a compact form.

A broad compact semidwarf upright with blue-green needles in spring. Branches are very densely arranged and it will reach 10' by 6'. A very nice size for our smaller gardens.
