Notes
'Pendula' Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora 'Pendula') is an evergreen tree for specimen, accent, and foundation use. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows slowly and has multiple trunks, reaching 36 to 60 inches tall and wide. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Its slow growth suits small spaces.
Pairs well with Birch, Gertrude Jekyll rose, and Pincushion flower.
