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

This compact pine has a very dense, multi-stemmed, shrub-like habit. It grows slowly to about 12 feet tall and 18 feet wide, forming a sort of umbrella-like, flat topped mound. It is a frequent addition to Japanese or Zen gardens, and can be selectively pruned for a more open, tree-like appearance.
