Pinaceae
Pinus parviflora 'Glauca Brevifolia' is a dwarf Japanese white pine, remarkable for its short, dense, silvery-blue foliage, forming a compact, rounded to conical silhouette, particularly elegant as a specimen plant or in a conifer garden. Its very fine, slightly twisted needles, grouped in fives, offer a refined and luminous texture year-round. This moderately growing selection maintains a naturally balanced shape without pruning and is perfectly suited for small spaces, rock gardens, containers, or Japanese-inspired landscapes. Very hardy and resistant to cold winds, it prefers a sunny to semi-shady exposure, in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. 'Glauca Brevifolia' stands out for its neat structure, its permanently decorative foliage, and its natural elegance, ideal for well-maintained arrangements.
