Pinus strobus 'Squiggles'

A dwarf, slow-growing, evergreen conifer, which produces a compact, flattened, globe to dome-shaped bush, reaching about 50cm (20in) high and 75cm (30in) across after ten years. 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 6-8cm (2½-5½in) long. They are curved to twisted and soft to the touch and are a silvery blue-green throughout the year. Their twisting gives the bush a ruffled appearance. 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
