Pinus cembra Blue Mound
This compact, wider selection of Swiss Stone Pine grows slowly and has such a soft, fluffy look that it begs to be touched. Branches have a lush, bushy look, the result of 5-needle clusters of long, two-tone needles that twist and weave together. Extremely hardy, it maintains its form with little pruning and makes an elegant pyramidal addition to open spaces in full sun. It grows more slowly than 'Algonquin Pillar' or 'Silver Sheen' and performs admirably as an accent or in a mass.
