Pinus wallichiana Nana

Dwarf Himalayan Pine

Dwarf Himalayan Pine (Pinus wallichiana ‘Nana’) grows slowly with a broad upright outline. Silky blue-green needles give the plant a soft visual texture, helping it blend with finer-leaved companions while still providing evergreen structure.

Its modest ten-year dimensions make it useful in a smaller conifer grouping. Leave room for continued growth, and keep its naturally broad framework visible from the main viewing position.

Choose a sunny position with soil that drains freely. Water during establishment and leave enough room for the branches to develop without crowding.
