Blue ShagThis short, fat form of the Eastern White pine is a winner. The soft to the touch blue green needles create a "shaggy" appearance in the garden. The foliage is dense, never looking leggy. The plant can be pruned for keeping to a certain size. Adaptable to a wide range of soil types makes this plant easy to keep happy. Very hardy, from USDA zones 3 8. You can expect this pine to be 2 3 feet high and 3 4 feet wide in 10 years.
