Pinus Banksiana Chippewa

Chippewa Jack Pine

Chippewa Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana ‘Chippeawa’) forms a miniature mound of bright green needles. The low branches spread outward as the plant develops, creating a small evergreen cushion with more width than height.

Its scale suits a rock garden or the front of a conifer bed. Choose a position where nearby growth can be kept from covering the little mound, so its compact outline remains easy to see.

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