Pinus parviflora Pent. Azuma
Pinus parviflora ‘Pent. Azuma’ is a refined Japanese white pine selection valued for its elegant form and high-quality blue-green foliage. This slow-growing pine develops an upright to broadly conical habit with softly twisted needles held five to a bundle, creating a classic, airy texture. The foliage displays a cool blue-green to silvery tone that gives the plant a calm, refined presence year-round. Typically reaching 8–12 feet tall and wide over time, ‘Pent. Azuma’ thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, adapting well once established. Its balanced structure, traditional Japanese character, and refined foliage make it an excellent choice for specimen planting and collector gardens.
