Growing & Maintenance Tips for Pinus sylvestris 'Watereri'

Combining its colour and texture, this pine offers a good solution for screening or foundation type plantings. A more open, informal cultivar, this pine is highly tolerant of urban pollution and should thrive in inner city environments. An excellent choice for use as a bonsai or container planting.

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