Pinus parviflora 'Fukuzumi'

Fukuzumi Japanese White Pine

Pinus parviflora ‘Fukuzumi’
Fukuzumi Japanese White Pine develops several angled leaders clothed in short, twisting blue-green needles. The branching gives it a naturally uneven, windswept appearance.

Left to develop freely, the plant becomes broad and spreading. Training a leader upward changes its proportions, so consider the individual specimen's form when choosing its space.

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Water the root zone during establishment and leave room for the branches to develop. A site with cool summers generally suits this pine better than prolonged hot, humid conditions.

Approximate garden size
• Width: 12 ft; larger with age
• Height: 6 ft; larger with age
These are planning estimates for an established garden plant, commonly reached in 10–25 years, rather than final mature limits.

Hardiness
• Hardy to USDA Zone 5; local summer conditions also affect suitability.

• Rock Garden
