Pinus Strobus Green Twist

Green Twist White Pine

Green Twist Eastern White Pine is a small evergreen with distinctly curled needles. The twisting foliage adds texture to its rounded outline.

Growth is slow and compact. It suits a container or a sunny border where its unusual needles can be appreciated at close range.

Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil. Routine clipping is unnecessary; allow the natural branching pattern to develop.
