Description
Pinus strobus 'Pacific Sunrise' (Eastern White Pine)
Description: A striking, dwarf conifer, Pinus strobus 'Pacific Sunrise' features soft, fine-textured, blue-green needles with creamy-yellow variegation. This slow-growing evergreen forms a dense, conical to rounded shape, making it an attractive specimen for smaller gardens or as a focal point in rockeries.
Size: Reaches a height of 1-2 meters over 10-15 years, making it ideal for compact spaces.
Climate suitability: Thrives in temperate regions of Australia, especially in areas with cooler climates. While it tolerates light frosts, it performs best in well-drained soil with full sun or part shade. It may require protection from intense summer heat in more arid regions.
Care: Requires minimal pruning and is relatively low-maintenance once established. Ensure moderate watering during prolonged dry spells, and apply mulch to maintain soil moisture. Suitable for gardeners seeking a unique, easy-care conifer.
