Pinus densiflora 'Alice Verkade'

A dwarf, low growing form of the typical species, unlikely to reach more than 1.8m (6ft) high and 3m (10ft) wide when fully grown. The soft, long dark green needles are produced radially on branches that form a neat rounded dome, above a trunk on older specimens with attractive reddish-brown bark. Its size and features make the tree a favourite choice for an architectural statement in a smaller city garden. or a border where space is limited.
