Pinus Parviflora Bergman

Bergman Japanese Pine

Pinus parviflora ‘Bergman’
Bergman Japanese White Pine carries long, twisted blue-green needles and colorful pollen cones in spring. The combination brings both fine texture and a brief seasonal color contrast.

The crown begins compact and rounded, then develops a wider, irregular upright shape. Use it where the evolving branch structure can become a visible part of the garden.

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Water the root zone during establishment and leave room for the branches to develop. A site with cool summers generally suits this pine better than prolonged hot, humid conditions.

Approximate garden size
• Width: 8 ft; larger with age
• Height: 10 ft; larger with age
These are planning estimates for an established garden plant, commonly reached in 10–25 years, rather than final mature limits.

Hardiness
• Hardy to USDA Zone 5; local summer conditions also affect suitability.
