Pinus Monticola Crawford
Crawford Western White Pine
Crawford Western White Pine (Pinus monticola ‘Crawford’) develops a compact pyramid clothed in long, soft needles. Silver mixes with blue-green across the foliage, giving the tree a bright, cool presence in the landscape.
This is a faster-growing selection, so its tidy young form should be given room to expand. The regular outline and evergreen color are especially useful when nearby deciduous plants are bare.
Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. Water during establishment and leave enough room for the branches to develop without crowding.
