Pinus densiflora Jane Kluis

Dwarf Japanese Red Pine

Jane Kluis Japanese Red Pine (Pinus densiflora ‘Jane Kluis’) builds a low, broad cushion of bright green needles. The foliage radiates outward along the branches, emphasizing the plant’s horizontal form.

Pale buds provide a small but noticeable contrast among the green needles. This compact pine is especially effective where it can be viewed from above or beside a path, with room for its width to develop.

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