Walter Pine
Pinus Sylvestris Watereri
This is an attractive, semi-dwarf evergreen conifer which is characterised by its upward branches and steel-blue needles. It is upright and pyramidal when young, slow maturing to more irregular, broadly conical shape with age. Stiff and twisted, blue-grey needles are displayed in fascicles of two all year round, forming excellent branches for incorporating into flower arrangements. The foliage colour is most intense during late spring and early summer when the new flush of growth appears. A low maintenance conifer which is drought tolerant once established.
