DESCRIPTION
Pinus strobus 'Minuta' is a dwarf cultivar of the Eastern White Pine, prized for its compact, dense growth habit and soft, blue-green needles. The needles are long and slender, giving the plant a delicate, feathery texture that contrasts beautifully with more rigid or broad-leaved plants. Its rounded, globular form adds structure and interest to rock gardens, small landscapes, or container plantings. Over time, 'Minuta' develops a charming, sculpted appearance, making it an excellent choice for those looking to add a touch of evergreen elegance to their garden without overwhelming the space.
