Pinus densiflora umb. 'Tanyosho Compacta

Compact Tanyosho Jap Red Pine

Compact Tanyosho Japanese Red Pine (Pinus densiflora ‘Tanyosho Compacta’) develops a dense, flattened crown. Short, slender green needles keep the texture fine while the broad top gives the plant a distinct horizontal outline.

This dwarf selection can provide a small structural feature among lower plants. Its shape remains especially useful in winter, when the evergreen crown continues to define the planting.

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