Notes

'Tempelhof' Japanese white pine (Pinus parviflora 'Tempelhof') is a shrub for specimen planting, accents, privacy screens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly into a dense evergreen. Deer tend to pass it by. Once settled in, it tolerates drought and salt, and birds visit it.

Pairs well with Boxwood, Sedge, and Spurge.
