Pinus Parviflora Cleary

Cleary Japanese White Pine

Cleary Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora ‘Cleary’) is a compact, slow-growing selection valued for its silver-blue needles. The bright foliage gives it a noticeable presence even among other blue-toned conifers.

A simple setting helps that color read clearly. Use it as an individual accent with room for the framework to develop, rather than crowding it among plants of similar height and texture.

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