Pinus strobus 'Minuta'

Minuta White Pine

Minuta Eastern White Pine grows slowly into a dense, broad dome. Its soft needles combine blue-green color with a silvery cast.

The close branching gives it a finished appearance without routine clipping. It can provide an evergreen focal point in a small garden or a large container.

Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil. Routine clipping is unnecessary; allow the natural branching pattern to develop.
