Notes
'Blue Wave' Japanese white pine (Pinus parviflora 'Blue Wave') is a tree for borders, specimen planting, accents, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows slowly into a dense evergreen that reaches 5 to 6 feet tall and wide. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The needles are fragrant, and the tree tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Sedge, and Maidenhair tree.
