Pinus strobus Diggy
'Diggy' puts on a rare second push of growth in late summer that has very short congested needles resulting in tufts of growth at the ends of shoots already clothed with fine texture, soft, blue-green needles. A very open growing form, it maintains a surprisingly narrow habit and gives the look of a giant forest tree in an itty-bitty package. Excellent for the container gardens, this slow grower has great potential for anyone looking for the soft yet majestic beauty of the Eastern White Pine in a size that is naturally more manageable in the 21st century garden. Best to provide full sun and well-drained soil.
