Pinus parviflora 'Kinpo' - A dwarf cultivar Japanese White Pine. Great little specimen for a rock garden How does one describe the character of this small, irregular, bluish green evergreen conifer? Twisted, miniature brush-like clusters of needles appear along spreading branches, some of them exposed to show off gray, textured bark. Gently curved shoots, accented with attractive small cones, provide year-round appeal. Site the accent conifer in a raised, courtyard bed, container or other premium location. Salt tolerance suggests use at a seaside location. Prefers full sun in well-drained soil.
