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.

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.
