Pinus flexilis 'Vanderwolf's Pyramid'
limber pine
Showcasing a narrow pyramidal habit and two-toned twisted needles, 'Vanderwolf's Pyramid' is a medium-sized evergreen pine valued for its compact form and colourful foliage. This slow-growing, upright pine bears soft, eye-catching needles that emerge twisted in bundles of 5, with silvery-blue undersides and dark green upper surfaces creating an architectural, bi-coloured texture. With its tidy form occupying minimal space, this pine suits smaller urban gardens or landscapes needing a vertical focal point. Prefers a neutral to acidic soil.
How to care for Pinus flexilis Vanderwolf's Pyramid:
Pruning is not usually necessary, however any shoots that ruin the symmetry of the plant can be removed in autumn. Apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plant (avoiding the immediate crown) in late winter.
