Pinus sylvestris 'Watereri'

Scots Pine

Watereri Scots Pine is a slow-growing tree with a broad, upright outline. Stiff blue-green needles provide its main evergreen color.

Flaking bark reveals warm red-brown tones as the plant develops. Its combination of foliage and bark gives it value as a structural garden specimen.

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