Pinus Parviflora Templehof

Blue Compact Japanese Pine

Tempelhof Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora ‘Tempelhof’) develops a tree-like framework with bright blue foliage. The needle color gives it a clear presence among ordinary green plants, even before the tree becomes large.

Ornamental cones can appear at a young age, adding another point of interest within the crown. Use it as an individual specimen with space for the branches to develop naturally.

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