Bennett Contorted eastern white pine

Pinaceae (pine family)

Species native to e. North America

Comments:
A slow-growing evergreen with strongly weeping side branches that can be grown upright if staked. May reach 15-20' or more when trained; left untrained, will form a pendulous, horizontal specimen of irregular habit. Needles are fine- textured, 2-5" long, with fine bluish green winter color. No cones have been reported on this cultivar. Rare in cultivation, but a worthy addition for its unusual habit.
