Description

The Dwarf Scotch Pine is a beautiful, slow growing evergreen that reaches 3-6' tall and wide. It is a semi-dwarf plant with a spherical habit. Evergreen leaves are blue-green needles. Shear the "candles" of new growth to keep it smaller and denser. It does best in full sun with well-draining, acidic soil.
