Pinus monticola 'Nana' | Dwarf Western White Pine

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Pinus monticola 'Nana' produces small reddish female cones and pale yellow pollen cones in spring, adding subtle seasonal color among the foliage. Soft, blue-green needles are borne in bundles of five and arranged densely along the branches, creating a refined texture and a graceful evergreen framework that remains attractive throughout the year. New growth emerges with a lighter hue, bringing additional contrast and depth to the plant. The needles have a soft appearance and gentle movement that contribute to its elegant character.

Originating from a species native to western North America, this cultivar was selected for its compact habit and ornamental appeal. It is well suited to rock gardens, conifer collections, foundation plantings, and mixed borders, where its evergreen foliage and fine texture provide year-round structure and seasonal interest.
