Common Name: Bosnian Pine
Pinus heldreichii compact gem is a miniature bonsai pine that features dainty spikes of very long, stiff dark green needles. Resin smeared cones form at the base of the needles so densely, creating a stunning appearance. This plant is a compact tight upright cone that grows only 1 inch in a year and eventually reach 4 ft tall in 10 years. Full sun is best for this jewel to cultivate well. It prefers moderate moisture, well-drained soil. It can be used as rock garden, foundation and specimen.
