Pinus koraiensis Morris Blue
Blue Korean Pine
Morris Blue Korean Pine (Pinus koraiensis ‘Morris Blue’) brings a silvery cast to blue-green evergreen foliage. The needles give the tree a softer visual texture than many stiff-needled pines, while its slow growth helps keep the developing plant manageable.
Use it where the cool foliage can be seen against a contrasting background. As an individual specimen, it offers year-round color without depending on a flower display.
Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. Water during establishment and leave enough room for the branches to develop without crowding.
