Weeping White Pine 'Pendula'
FamilyPinaceae
Pinus strobus 'Pendula' is an Eastern white pine with an irregular weeping habit, valued for its sculptural and flowing appearance, with supple cascading branches that create a unique and changing silhouette depending on the trunk's formation. Its soft blue-green foliage, composed of long, fine needles grouped in fives, brings a vaporous and luminous texture to the garden year-round. This moderately growing cultivar is often trained on a stake to gain height, then left free to develop its natural forms. It is ideal as a specimen plant, in rock gardens, or informal gardens, where a lively and organic focal point is desired. Very hardy, tolerant of wind, cold, and various types of well-drained soils, 'Pendula' combines movement, lightness, and natural elegance.
