Pinus sylvestris 'Nana'
Dwarf Scotch Pine
Description
The Dwarf Scotch Pine is a beautiful, slow growing evergreen that reaches 2' high and 3' wide. It is bushy and has a coarse texture. The needles are about 1" long, usually 2 per cluster and very dense. Positive growth will result from planting in acidic, well-drained soil. It is best to destroy severely beetle-ridden shrubs. Pines are highly combustible plants.
