Pinus Aristata Bashful
Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine
Bashful Bristlecone Pine is a dwarf evergreen selection from the Jerry Morris Rocky Mountain Collection. It brings the texture of a mountain pine to a smaller planting without the full-size tree dimensions described for the species.
Rocky Mountain bristlecone pine carries short, dark green needles in groups of five. White resin spots on the needles are characteristic of the species. Grow it in full sun in a dry, rocky setting; the species accepts acidic or alkaline soil.
The cultivar is listed as hardy to USDA Zone 4. Place it where its foliage can be viewed closely, such as a conifer collection or rock garden.
