Pinus parviflora Tanima no yuki
This Japanese name conjures a dual vision of great beauty. "Snow white in the valley between two peaks." You decide which best describe this highly desirable Japanese White Pine. A very slow growing dwarf, 'Tanima no yuki' begins its life as an irregular mound which, in time, will develop into a small, broad, upright form. One of the last pines to complete its new candle growth in spring, it unfurls its curvy, creamy white, variegated needles to produce a delightful character in the garden. Excellent for containers and rock gardens, it will benefit from well-drained soil and partial afternoon shade.
Proper translation is "Snow in the Valley", with Tanima being 'valley' and yuki being 'snow'
