Pinus wallichiana 'Zebrina'

Variegated Himalayan White Pine

Pinus wallichiana ‘Zebrina’
Zebrina Himalayan Pine has long, slender needles marked with yellow bands. The repeating pattern adds a bright variegated effect throughout the canopy.

Its broad upright growth develops into a substantial evergreen tree. Use it where the fine foliage can be seen against a darker background and the crown has space to expand.

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: 15 ft; larger with age
• Height: 25 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 5; local summer conditions also affect suitability.
