Pinus parviflora Regenhold Broom

Pinus parviflora ‘Regenhold Broom’ is a rare and highly collectible dwarf selection of Japanese White Pine, originating from a witches’ broom mutation. This cultivar is prized for its tightly clustered, short blue-green needles, which create a dense, feathery texture that sets it apart from typical white pines. Its irregular, compact growth habit gives it a sculptural, almost bonsai-like appearance, making each plant subtly unique.

Slow-growing and resilient, ‘Regenhold Broom’ thrives in full sun to light shade with well-drained soil. It is especially well-suited for collectors, rock gardens, alpine troughs, and container plantings, offering an elegant and highly textured evergreen accent. The combination of rare origin, distinctive form, and manageable size makes it a standout addition for gardens and collections where subtle conifer artistry is valued.
