    By: Forestfarm

    A compact pine with fairly long needles and an irregular, pyramidal habit.

    By: Conifer Kingdom

    This flat-topped dwarf grows broader than tall. It has pretty, light green foliage, and an abundance of buds. The needles appear to lighten as they get closer to the bud which gives the impression of a lot of eyes - very striking.
