Pinus Parviflora 'Tani Mano Uki'

Japanese Snow Pine

Pinus parviflora ‘Tanima no yuki’
Tanima no yuki Japanese White Pine has curved, cream-white and green needles that brighten its spring growth. The young plant forms an uneven mound with a distinctive variegated texture.

With age it may develop a small upright framework. Its slow growth suits containers and rock gardens, with shelter from strong afternoon sun helping protect the pale foliage.

Provide good drainage and consistent moisture during establishment. Morning sun with afternoon shade helps protect the pale portions of the needles.

Approximate garden size
• Width: 2 ft; larger with age
• Height: 3 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 5; local summer conditions also affect suitability.

Best Uses
• Rock Garden
• Container
• Accent Plant
