Native Evergreen with Tons of Character
Every landscape needs a focal point, and this native selection would handle that role beautifully. Shore Pine (Pinus contorta 'Contorta') is a dark green conifer that grows into wild, twisting shapes along the coastline of Alaska and south into Northern California.
Imaging what they'll look like in a Midwestern yard with it's constant windy conditions. Or planted lakeside, or along the Coast, or even along a busy street. This is a tough, widely adaptable tree that can handle salt spray!
If you aren't buffeted by high winds every day, the tree will develop into a broad rounded canopy, but will still have a contorted trunk. People have used Shore Pines for generations to produce miniature Bonsai trees for their visual interest.
Plant this as a single specimen as an evergreen shade tree, or plant a row of them as a natural, dense windbreak or screen. You'll really love the soft needles and the amazingly fresh scent of real pine. Each one will be unique, a standout in its own right.
We're pleased to offer this windswept native beauty. Order yours today!
