Compact Chinese Lacebark Pine
Currently unavailable
A dwarf cultivar of the standard lacebark pine, prized for smaller gardens and tight spaces. Upright, pyramidal, and tighter than the species when young, opens up into a more oval-rounded form with age. Features the signature exfoliating bark of the species, peeling away to reveal a patchwork of brown, rust, green, cream, and silver-white patches. Low to moderate water needs; requires good drainage and will suffer in standing water.
