Example of foliage on mature specimen This is an example of the branching and foliage habit of this plant. Due to its weeping nature staking at a young age may be necessary to give the plant height. | Photo by Bill Barger

<em>Pinus strobus</em> 'Pendula' This popular weeping form of the Eastern white pine is a robust tree with a very striking look. Long, blue-green needles gently cascade from twisting, pendulous branches, and with the exposed, smooth, grey bark, give a soft, relaxed feeling. Form can vary from tall and slender to low and broad. | Photo by Iseli Nursery, Inc.

Pinus strobus ‘Pendula’ is a loose weeping form of white pine that requires staking to obtain the desired height. It will then continue weeping and form a large mound.

Needles are generally abundant, long, and blue-gray to blue-green in color. Branches often growing in a sweeping form. Will eventually become a large tree and makes a fantastic and elegant form for the garden that has the room for it.
