Pinus Resinosa Quinobequin

Quinobequin Japanese Red Pine

Quinobequin Red Pine (Pinus resinosa ‘Quinobequin’) makes a dwarf rounded plant with slender olive-green needles. The softer color and fine needle shape give it a quieter appearance than many dark green globe-shaped conifers.

Its compact outline is useful as a low specimen or a repeated evergreen accent. Set it where the rounded framework has room to develop without being crowded by faster-growing neighbors.

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