Blue Dwarf Japanese Stone Pine (Pinus pumila 'Dwarf Blue') is a compact and attractive evergreen conifer that's prized for its beautiful blue-green needles and its dwarfed growth habit. The needles are short, measuring about 1-2 inches in length, and they have a characteristic bluish hue that gives the tree its name. This variety is ideal for small gardens, rock gardens, or as a container plant. It tends to maintain a rounded, compact shape, making it a great choice for those looking to add a touch of evergreen beauty to smaller spaces. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and coloration.
