A slow-growing, very compact cultivar. Sometimes cultivated as a shrub. It then reaches a height of 3 – 5 m and the same width. If cultivated as a small tree, it develops a broad, parasol-shaped crown that grows to later become irregular and round. Height up to approximately 6 m and sometimes broader than high. A striking characteristic is the orange-brown bark that later turns greyish brown. Young twigs are green and turn yellowish grey. The stiff, slightly twisted needles grow in pairs close together. They have a steel blue colour. The greyish brown conical cones are 3 - 6 cm long and 2 - 3.5 cm wide. Thrives well even in dry, sandy soil. 'Wateri' tolerates clipping well, rendering it excellently suited for shaping. Accordingly, impressive 'bonsai-like' solitary plants can be created.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
Pinus sylvestris 'Watereri' can eventually reach a height of 3 - 6 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
