Sunshine Size:2 gal size 3-4 year old tree

Sunshine Size:2 gal size 3-4 year old treeA brightly variegated form of the Dwarf Mountain pine that was introduced by Wiel Linssen, owner of Libo Nursery, Baexem, Netherlands. The original plant was a seedling selection and is a fine new cultivar. The plant grows strongly to be about as tall as wide, and at a growth rate of 2 3 inches per year, making a shimmering globe 2 ft. tall x 2 ft. wide in 10 years. Very hardy to zone 2.

but our plant has been in the garden for 5 years and is about 3 ft

tall into a dense clump with lots of blooms

but care should be taken in hot climates to protect it from the scorching afternoon sun

you will have to have one

The pink-red hanging flowers stay closed and look like little lanterns aglow

Plant with Rhododendron Crater Lake for a real traffic stopper

We love to see it planted in banks of 3-5 to make a stunning show in May

Even though most sources say this tree is hardy to zone 8

The flowers are light yellow in loose trusses that appear in April and May

The leaves and form are so unique and so LARGE

arboreum ssp

I have seen this plant trained and pruned by Japanese master plantsmen into works of art
