Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

The 'Nana' has slow growth to a height of 7'. It is broad and rounded in shape, with blue green foilage that is finely textured. Pines are highly combustible plants.
Grow in full sun. Grow in fertile, well drained soil. Typically, white pines prefer climates with a bit of humidity, and that sure isn't here, so providing soil that is amended with well-aged compost is important. when amending the soil, amend as large an area as is possible - not just the hole you put the plant into. See the resources for more information.
