Pinus strobus 'Minima'

A dwarf, slow-growing, evergreen conifer, which produces a compact, flattened, globe to dome-shaped bush, ultimately reaching about 1m (39in) high and 1.2m (4ft) across. It has a neat, densely branching habit. The thin needles are produced in bunches of five at the tips of the stems and are around 8-14cm (3-5½in) long. They are soft to the touch and are a silvery blue-green throughout the year. It can produce cylindrical brown cones,10-20cm long. Its small size, means it is an excellent choice for a small, city or courtyard garden, where an architectural, or evergreen focal point is needed, as well as for container growing, or for inclusion in the rockery
