Pinus pumila Blue Dwarf
Available early May
Pinus pumila ‘Blue Dwarf’ was selected for a spring display of brightly coloured cones that contrast with the blue green colour of the needles. It produces a dense load of twisted needles and a horizontal, spreading habit that is unique among Pinus pumila cultivars. Native to extremely cold, exposed regions of northeastern Asia, the tough constitution of this pine stands up to harsh conditions.
