This broad, globose selection of Lodgepole Pine grows with long, dark-green needles and pronounced candles in the winter. One of few dwarf selections of this species!

A wonderful dwarf conifer that is actually a witch's broom mutation, this elegant, small pine becomes a formal, pyramidal small tree to 5' in ten years. The foliage is a rich dark green that really stands out. This is a wonderful specimen for rock garden, container or conifer collection. S/M

A medium growing broom, I believe this originated with Jerry Morris, contorta brooms are not common in conifer collections and new additions are always welcome.
