Pinus parviflora Brevifolia

Pinus parviflora ‘Brevifolia’ is a refined selection of Japanese white pine valued for its shorter needles and dense, well-balanced habit. This slow-growing pine forms an upright to broadly conical shape with compact clusters of blue-green needles that create a tidy, textured appearance year-round. Typically reaching 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide over time, ‘Brevifolia’ thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, adapting well once established. Its shorter foliage, classic form, and understated elegance make it an excellent choice for specimen planting, collector gardens, and landscapes seeking a clean, controlled Japanese white pine.
