  • Description

  • Notes

The 'Nana' has slow growth to a height of 7'. It is broad and rounded in shape, with blue-green foilage that is finely textured.
The White Pine is an inportant timber tree, but must be monitored for burn due to its susceptibility in windy areas. It will survive in many types of soils, as long as they remain well-drained.
