Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Incredible new growth emerges in wide, flattened stems that resemble Japanese fans! This is where this rare pine gets its Japanese name "ogi," meaning "fan." Long, dark-green needles and fasciated buds make this a really beautiful pine.

Many stems develop cockscombs (fasciations) at tips, good in containers or rock gardens, Hardy to zone 5
