Growing and Maintenance Tips:


It is best grown in a full sun exposure, however, it tolerates moderate sunlight in a medium to moist, well-drained soil. 

This pine is naturally a narrow grower, however, pinching the candles mid-spring will encourage an even more compact form.  

To improve looks and airflow, these plants would benefit from periodic 'combing' (use your fingers) to remove dead material.
