Description:
This is a magnificent form of the Rocky Mountain 'Limber Pine'. Its needles are a brilliant powder-blue colour, and are most intense from mid-summer through winter. It is said to be the bluest selection of Pinus flexilis. A beautiful specimen in the landscape.
This pine does best in full sun to partial shade. It will not tolerate standing water or wet sites and prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil. Once established it is considered to be drought-tolerant.
