Pinus strobus ‘Squiggles’

Pinus strobus 'Squiggles' is a flattened globose dwarf selection of eastern white pine with twisted blue-green needles. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 16 inches (40 cm) tall and 24 inches (60 cm) wide, a rate of growth of 1 to 2 inches (2.5 - 5 cm) per year, slightly more outward than up.

This cultivar originated as a seedling of P. strobus 'Contorta' selected in 1999 by Andy Duvall of South Lyon, Michigan, USA. P. strobus 'Wiggles' is a similar sister seeding. A conifer collector with sufficient room should try to obtain both for the purpose of comparison and historic importance.
