Growing and Maintenance Tips:


A pine with a unique visual appeal creating a striking landscape element wherever it is used. This pine is naturally an open grower, however, pinching the candles in mid-spring will encourage a more compact form.

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