Pinus sylvestris glauca 'Nana'

Dwarf Scotch Pine

Pinus sylvestris ‘Glauca Nana’
Glauca Nana Scots Pine forms a rounded young crown of blue-toned needles. As it ages, the branches spread outward and the outline becomes broader and flatter.

Allow enough room for that change in proportions. Selective candle pruning before the needles fully extend can help retain a more rounded form if desired.

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Water the root zone during establishment and leave room for the branches to develop.

Approximate garden size
• Width: 10 ft; larger with age
• Height: 10 ft; larger with age
These are planning estimates for an established garden plant, commonly reached in 10–25 years, rather than final mature limits.

Hardiness
• Hardy to USDA Zone 3; local summer conditions also affect suitability.

Best Uses

• Border
