Pinus strobus 'Pendula'
Weeping White Pine
Weeping eastern white pine (Pinus strobus 'Pendula') has long, trailing branches that bend and spread into an irregular outline. Early staking and training strongly influence its height; untrained plants can sprawl across the ground.
The plant develops drooping branches. Growth is moderate. The foliage supplies a year-round framework.
Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide humus-rich, well-drained soil. Choose the height and direction of the framework while the plant is young.
