Short, blue-green needles adorn the branches of this attractive dwarf pine. Dense bushy growth makes the plant even more appealing, while a windswept form gives a Japanese aesthetic to the plant. Same as M-par 21
This petite evergreen is a sweet addition to your dwarf conifer collection and makes a great specimen in a rock garden or alpine trough. Noteworthy for blue green needles and very tight growth, 'Catherine Elizabeth' puts on 2" of growth a year, with a 10 year old size of roughly 2' x 3'. shipping 1 gallon plants at 6-8" tall.
Typically develops into an irregular shrub-form conifer. The blue needles are about half the size as the species and will retain their blue color throughout winter. A prolific cone producer. Rated as Zone 5, but has been found to grow successfully in Minnesota's harsh winter climate.
