Dwarf Siberian Pine, Japanese Stone Pine
Pinus pumila (Dwarf Siberian Pine) is a shrubby, spreading, evergreen conifer with a more or less prostrate growth habit. The thick, stiff, rich bluish green needles, 3 in. long (7 cm), are borne in clusters of five, and densely arranged on the stems. The erect seed cones are quite small, 1 in. long (2.5 cm), purplish-violet when young, turning reddish-brown. Growing 6-12 in. per year (15-30 cm), Dwarf Siberian Pine is a very appealing accent plant or addition to the shrub or perennial border. Good conifer to use as specimen in a rock-garden.
