Pinus parviflora Arnold Arboretum Dwarf

Arnold Arboretum Austrian Pine

Arnold Arboretum Dwarf Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora ‘Arnold Arboretum Dwarf’) develops a dense, broad pyramid. Short blue-green needles suit the scale of its slowly expanding branches.

This selection offers the presence of an evergreen tree in a compact young plant. It can anchor a collection of smaller conifers, with enough open ground around it to show the outline from base to tip.

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