Pinus parviflora 'Glauca' is a relatively small, broadly upright tree form of Japanese white pine with silver-blue curved needles. In spring young seed cones often appear like tiny red flowers at the branch tips. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 12 to 15 feet (4 - 5 m) tall and wide, annual growth rate of 12 to 18 inches (30 - 45 cm).
