Pinus strobus 'Torulosa' is a fast-growing tree form of Eastern white point with moderately contorted branches and conspicuously twisted Blue green needles. Young plants are somewhat irregular in growth habit, but eventually grows similar to species. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 12 to 15 feet (4 - 5 m) tall and annual growth rate of 12 to 18 inches (30 - 45 cm).
This cultivar is fairly old in the nursery trade. Although its origin is uncertain, one of it's first mentions is in the Hillier Nurseries catalog in 1978, making the name potentially illegitimate. Given that, it's likely to have originated somewhere in Europe.
