Weeping White Pine
Did you know?
Weeping White Pine trees (Pinus strobus 'Pendula') can be pruned and trained to exhibit different growth habits, and no two specimen are exactly the same. If they are staked, they will grow as small trees with twisted, weeping branches. If they are left unstaked and unpruned, they will form mounded shrubs with creeping groundcover branches.
