Pinus cembra 'Silver Sheen', 2019 photo

Pinus cembra 'Silver Sheen', 2019 photo, Common Name: Swiss stone pine, Size: 20x15ft, blue-green needles with a silver sheen. , USDA Hardiness Zone 3, In Garden Bed HR-F for 38.1 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 1981.

 

Iseli Nursery: The full, open habit of Pinus cembra ‘Silver Sheen’ distinguishes this Swiss Stone Pine as the largest of those we grow. Like other cembras, it produces long, two-toned needles that twist and weave together, forming bushy, blue-green branches with a “silver sheen.” The beautiful, extremely hardy tree needs little pruning to stay in scale and makes a vastly superior alternative for Pinus flexilis ‘Vanderwolf’s Pyramid’. Deserving of greater use, it resists pests and disease, grows slowly and produces year-round beauty in many landscape positions.
