  • Description

  • Notes

‘Pendula’ is a weeping form of Japanese Red pine that may be grown in several different ways including (1) sprawling over the ground without support as a ground cover; (2) draped over a wall with branches cascading downward; or (3) grafted to a standard with branches weeping downward from the point of the graft or staked with branches weeping. Mature shape and height depend upon how plant is grown. It typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall over the first 10 years. Dark green needles are long and give it a fluffy look.
