Pinus Bungeana Diamant

Diamant Chinese Lacebark Pine

Diamant Lacebark Pine (Pinus bungeana ‘Diamant’) is a compact selection with a low, spreading shape. Bright green needles cover the close-set branches, creating a small evergreen mound that feels substantial without taking much vertical space.

Its broad proportions make it a useful companion for upright conifers or stones. Place it where the whole outline remains visible, rather than behind taller plants that would hide its restrained growth.

Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. Water during establishment and leave enough room for the branches to develop without crowding.
