Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • 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.
