Pinus parviflora Koru

Pinus parviflora ‘Koru’ is a compact, slow-growing Japanese white pine prized for its dense habit and distinctive, curled needle structure. This selection forms a rounded to broadly conical shape with softly twisted blue-green needles that cluster tightly along the branches, giving the plant a sculptural, refined appearance. Typically maturing at 5–8 feet tall and wide, ‘Koru’ performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and adapts well once established. Its unique needle form, manageable size, and collector appeal make it an excellent choice for specimen planting, rock gardens, and landscapes seeking a Japanese white pine with strong visual texture.
