Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This incredibly slow-growing pine has soft, blue-green needles. It was discovered by Gary Gee as a witch's broom on Pinus koraiensis 'Winton'. An excellent dwarf conifer that does well when dead, interior needles are removed before spring.
Gary found this on the nursery; in my estimation, it is the best koraiensis broom in cultivation, very compact, good color, All in all a great plant.
