Pinus bungeana Silver Ghost

Pinus bungeana ‘Silver Ghost’ is an elegant cultivar of lacebark pine admired for its luminous blue-silver needles and refined, architectural form. This slow-growing pine develops an upright to broadly pyramidal habit, with soft, slender needles held in attractive clusters that give the plant a light, almost ethereal appearance. As it matures, ‘Silver Ghost’ reveals the characteristic exfoliating bark of Pinus bungeana, adding striking four-season interest. Typically reaching 10–15 feet tall and 6–10 feet wide over time, it performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and is adaptable once established. Its silvery foliage, ornamental bark, and strong specimen presence make it an exceptional choice for collector gardens, focal plantings, and landscapes where subtle color contrast and year-round structure are desired.
