Pinus parviflora 'Bergman Select', 2019 photo

Pinus parviflora 'Bergman Select', 2019 photo, Common Name: Japanese White Pine, Size: #Conifer, long, blue-green twisted needles, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, In Garden Bed HR-J14 for 1.1 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 2018.

 

American Conifer Society: Pinus parviflora ‘Bergman’ is a slow-growing, spreading selection of Japanese White pine, one of the more beautiful forms of this species. Its long, blue-green twisted needles make an outstanding statement. This cultivar can take on different forms depending on the understock used in the grafting process, where the scions are collected and the pruning skills of the individual maintaining it. There are four distinct forms known to exist depending on what pine understock is used for grafting. ‘Bergman’ is considered similar to its sister cultivar, ‘Bonnie Bergman,’ but grows wider. After 10 years of growth one can expect a mature specimen to stand 6 feet (2 m) tall and 4 feet (1.2 m) wide, suggesting an annual rate of growth of around 6 – 8 inches (15 – 20 cm).
