Pinus densiflora 'Pumila'

A smaller growing form of the typical species producing a shrub or small, multi-stemmed tree, with greyish-brown bark and a neat dome-shaped canopy, to 2m (6½ft) tall and 2.7m (9ft) across. The needles are deep green and 10cm (4in) long and produced radially along the stems. Its size and architectural profile make it an attractive choice for smaller city gardens, or for borders where size is limited.
