Description Zebrina Himalayan Pine features attractive bands of creamy-yellow variegation on the long, blueish-silver needles. Also known as Zabrina Bhutan Pine

  Morphology:
This is a slow growing dwarf Himalayan Pine that grows to 6’ in height after 10 years. The literature states that at full maturity it could grow to a height of 30’ and a spread of 20’. During its life it keeps a broad-pyramidal form. The long thin green needles are up to 6”-8” long and grouped in bundles of 5. They are green with golden yellow bands. The needles form downward clusters giving the tree a feathery effect.

  Adaptation:
For best results find a full sun site and a well drained soil profile.

  Pests:
None reported.
