Sea Urchin Eastern White Pine

Pinus strobus 'Sea Urchin'

This native conifer in dwarf form: its naturally dense, flattened-globe shape needs no pruning to maintain, and its soft blue-green needles are some of the finest-textured of any dwarf conifer.

  • Dense flattened-globe form is naturally well-shaped without pruning
  • Soft blue-green needles are fine-textured and pleasant to touch, unlike the sharp needles of most pines
  • Slow-growing at approximately 3 cm per year, a truly long-lived, low-maintenance specimen
  • Ideal for rock gardens, borders, or as a specimen plant, native to Ontario

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Sea Urchin eastern white 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.
