Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Vanderwolf's is a distinctive selection of Limber Pine. Its branches display long, twisting, blue green needles with a light blue line on the undersides. Pyramidal shaped, though generally considered narrow for it's height. Faster growing than the species, to 20 to 25 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet wide, though eventually it will become larger. Grows in full sun to part shade, in well drained soil. A lovely pine for urban landscapes.
