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
