Pinus Banksiana Schoodic

Schoodic Dwarf Jack Pine

Schoodic Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana ‘Schoodic’) keeps its evergreen foliage close to the ground. The light green needles gather densely along spreading branches, forming a low patch with much more width than height.

This small pine provides a steady cushion of texture among rocks or at the front of a conifer planting. Give the branches space to extend sideways so the plant can develop its natural, ground-hugging outline.

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