Evergreen Pinus Strobus (White Pine)
Color Name: Connecticut Slate
'Connecticut Slate' is a dense, spreading, quicker growing Dwarf White Pine that features gray-blue colored needles that make it stand out from the many other varieties on the market currently. The medium length, slate colored needles are tightly packed along the stems giving 'Connecticut Slate' a full appearance. It's a great plant for a border area, thriving in full sun or partial shade, and it makes a beautiful specimen for a larger foundation area with color and form that is truly memorable.
Growing Tips:
Location: Plant in well-draining soil in a sunny to partially shaded area of your garden.
Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during the establishment period. Once established, it's more drought-tolerant.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is required, but you can shape the tree as desired.
