    This extrememly useful dwarf conifer has a compact, mounding habit. Bluish-green needles are a lovely contrast to the other plants in your landscape. Candle pruning will ensure that the shrub will stay very dense and keep its flattened globe shape. Growth Rate medium, 6-12" annually

    Pinus sylvestris 'Glauca Nana' - Blue Scot's Pine Rounded when young, 'Glauca Nana' slowly sprawls out and matures to a wider-than-tall flattened form with age. To maintain a more globe-like shape, candle prune in spring before needles break. This popular Scotch Pine, green with blue undertones, has been in the trade for many years.
