Pinus uncinata Louchy
Pinus uncinata ‘Louchy’ is a distinctive mountain pine selection known for its compact form and refined needle texture. Native species of Pinus uncinata inhabit harsh alpine environments, and this cultivar reflects that resilience while remaining garden-friendly in scale. Short, blue-green needles are held densely along sturdy branches, creating a tidy, composed appearance. It grows best in full sun with well-drained soil and has a slow, steady growth rate. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–7, it works well as a small specimen or structural evergreen in mixed plantings.
