This unique dwarf specimen is covered in dense, shaggy, slightly twisted needles. The branches are tipped with tufts of green foliage containing both short, light green needles and darker green, long needles creating a star-burst effect.
With its rounded, upright shape this pine provides a visual accent in the garden. The contrasting size between the young and old foliage adds to the textural and focal appeal. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and it should thrive in inner city environments.
To improve looks and airflow, these plants would benefit from periodic 'combing' (use your fingers) to remove dead material.
