Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Long, soft and silvery-blue foliage combines with an unusual, somewhat spreading habit and fantastic raspberry-red cones at a young age to make this Japanese stone pine even more unique. The low, spreading, rounded plant is much wider than it is tall. Its blue-green needles are about 2" long, and its needle tips get bleached in the winter, so the new growth appears especially vibrant.

Growing only 1-3 inches a year into a dense rounded form can make this White pine a choice addition for nearly any garden. An excellent candidate for bonsai too.
