Pinus sylvestris 'Watereri' – Pinus sylvestris 'Watereri'

View prices and availability
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.
