Vanderwolfs Pyramid Limber Pine

Vanderwolf’s Pyramid Limber Pine is a fast-growing tree that quickly develops into an attractive, pyramid-shaped specimen, with twisted, blue-green needles and large, decorative pine cones. Not only is it fast-growing, it is tough, resistant to pests and diseases, and drought resistant too, once established. It makes a lovely background plant, an interesting lawn specimen, or, planted in a row, a good screening plant. It is a native American tree, so it fits well into natural landscapes, and it is a very appropriate choice for planting among boulders and in gravel beds, which is similar to its natural habitat in the Rocky Mountains. It only grows 20 to 30 feet tall, so this is a great choice for a smaller garden, and it also fits well into Asian-themed gardens, with a similar appearance to traditional Japanese pine trees. It can even be grown as a large bonsai, and quickly develops a rugged appearance.

• Striking pyramid of blue-green foliage
• Medium-sized specimen or background tree
• Hardy to minus 30 degrees
• Fast-growing tree for instant effect
• Great choice for difficult, rocky locations

Plant Vanderwolf’s Pyramid Limber Pine in a sunny location in any well-drained soil. It will grow well in rocky soils and is a great choice for natural plantings. It will grow up to 18 inches a year, much faster than most other pines, so you will soon have a large tree. Its evergreen foliage is always attractive, and the 8-inch cones which it will produce after a few years are great for home decoration too. For the densest tree, trim the young shoots each spring while your tree is young. This hardy and low-maintenance tree is a great addition to any garden, and does not grow so large that it crowds out your other plants.
