Pinus strobus 'Nana'

Dwarf Eastern White Pine

Dwarf eastern white pine (Pinus strobus 'Nana') forms an uneven, broadly rounded mound rather than the towering outline of the species. Short, soft needles supply fine texture; plants sold under this name can vary in ultimate size and form.

Its structure combines dense branching and a rounded outline. Growth is slow. The foliage supplies a year-round framework.

Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide humus-rich, well-drained soil.
