This variety of Pine is both rigid and twisted, with needles of 3"-4". It has an irregular shape, and the short, contorted branches produce a canopy shaped tree. The buds are white, and the cones are egg -shaped and without prickles. Pines are highly combustible plants.

You will love the oriental effect this plant brings to your garden. There is something peaceful about it. It can be kept at a low height and its form can be modified by selective pruning and wiring.
