Pinus parviflora ‘Adcock's Dwarf’

Pinus parviflora 'Adcock's Dwarf, is a small pyramidal selection of Japanese white pine. Its growth habit can be described as congested and irregular. Needles are short , bluish green with a slight bit of twist. Early in life, 'Adcock's Dwarf' grows as a bun-shaped plant later becoming somewhat more pyramidal and developing some height. Although this is a very dwarf growing form, it might reach 3 to 4'™ foot tall and wide after 25 years or more.

This small growing Japanese White Pine was discovered in the 1960'™s at Hilliers Nursery in England, and was named after their plant propagator Graham Adcock.

As is true with all of the Japanese Pines, 'Adcock's Dwarf' adapts very well to a system of pruning and shaping, creating a living sculpture over time. It's short growth and small needles also make this selection a suitable candidate for Bonsai.
