Wildly undulating, pendulous branches give unique character to every plant of this distinctive form of Jack Pine. Plants bend and swoop to create a curvy, living sculpture decorated with resinous winter buds. This collector's plant, first discovered in a garden in Richfield, Minnesota, seems to be a reference to everyone's eccentric relative. Extremely hardy and adaptable, it tolerates heat, cold, and dry, sandy, or poor soils. Garden size varies, as each plant seems to grow in its own, unique way, but it can go to 12' tall and 8' wide, or might just as easily be 4-5' tall and 10' wide. Hardy to Zone 2.
