This evergreen conifer features a striking, compact habit with a graceful, irregular shape, making it a standout in any landscape. It boasts stunning blue-green needles with silvery accents that offer year-round interest. Best suited for hardiness zones 5-7, it thrives in cooler climates with recommended temperatures ranging from -20 to -10°F. This pine prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and requires full sun to perform at its best. Showcasing moderate deer resistance, it reaches a mature height of 20-40 feet with a spread of 10-20 feet, forming a balanced and attractive silhouette. While it does not produce notable fall color or flowers, its ornamental cones are a subtle yet charming feature. Ideal for rock gardens, specimen plantings, or as part of a mixed border, this resilient tree brings both beauty and structure to the garden.
