Growing & Maintenance Tips for Pinus densiflora 'Pygmaea'

This pine naturally grows irregularly, however, pinching the candles mid-spring will encourage a more compact form.

To improve looks and airflow, these plants would benefit from periodic 'combing' (use your fingers) to remove dead material.
