Pinus parviflora Pygmy Yatsubusa
Pinus parviflora ‘Pygmy Yatsubusa’ is a true miniature Japanese white pine prized for its extremely compact size and dense, cushion-like habit. This very slow-growing pine forms a tight, low mound with short, softly twisted blue-green needles clustered closely along the branches, creating a plush, refined texture year-round. Typically reaching just 1–2 feet tall and wide over time, ‘Pygmy Yatsubusa’ thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, adapting well once established. Its tiny stature, clean form, and classic yatsubusa character make it ideal for rock gardens, alpine troughs, containers, and serious conifer collections.
