Pinus Parviflora 'Venus'
Venus Japanese White Pine
Venus Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora ‘Venus’) forms a compact pyramid with soft, silvery blue-green needles. The foliage gives the plant a pale, cool cast that can stand out clearly among darker evergreens.
Cones often appear while the plant is still young, adding interest without waiting for a large tree to develop. Its balanced framework makes it useful as a small specimen within a mixed planting.
Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. Water during establishment and leave enough room for the branches to develop without crowding.
