Pinus Koraiensis Silver Ray

Silver Ray Korean Pine

Pinus Koraiensis ‘Silveray’
Silveray Korean Pine has twisting needles with green and silver surfaces. Their changing angles lend the canopy a silvery appearance while preserving a soft, finely textured look.

The crown develops upright and comparatively narrow. Use it as a vertical specimen with room for the branches and continued growth in later years.

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Water the root zone during establishment and leave room for the branches to develop.

Approximate garden size
• Width: 10 ft; larger with age
• Height: 20 ft; larger with age
These are planning estimates for an established garden plant, commonly reached in 10–25 years, rather than final mature limits.

Hardiness
• Hardy to USDA Zone 3; local summer conditions also affect suitability.
