Pinus parviflora Aoi
Pinus parviflora ‘Aoi’ is a graceful selection of Japanese white pine valued for its refined form and cool-toned foliage. This slow-growing pine develops a compact, upright to broadly conical habit with soft, twisted needles that display a silvery blue-green color, giving the plant a calm, elegant presence year-round. Over time, it can reach 15′ feet tall and 12′ wide. ‘Aoi’ thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, adapting well once established. Its balanced structure, gentle coloration, and classic Japanese garden character make it an excellent choice for specimen planting and landscapes seeking a pine with subtle sophistication.
