Growing & Maintenance Tips for Pinus strobus 'Blue Shag'

This pine is naturally a dense grower, however, pinching the candles mid-spring will encourage a more compact form, enabling the homeowner to maintain the desired size.

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