Pinus koraiensis Jack Korbit
Jack Korbit Korean Pine
Jack Korbit Korean Pine (Pinus koraiensis ‘Jack Korbit’) combines an upright habit with soft-looking blue-green needles. Growth is slow, allowing the young tree to develop a substantial presence at a measured pace.
In colder climates, faint yellow bands may appear on the needles, adding another layer of color. The amount of banding varies, so the blue-green foliage and upright structure remain the dependable reasons to choose it.
Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. Water during establishment and leave enough room for the branches to develop without crowding.
