Description

An absolutely stunning variety of our North Anmerican native Eastern White Pine, the foliage of ‘Blue Clovers’ is such a glowing light blue it almost doesn’t look real! Certainly a head-turner and sure to be a conversation piece. Its bundles of soft-to-the-touch needles are 5 inches long and slightly twisted providing soft texture and cool color in the landscape. Forming a dense pyramid 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide or more, we think the color on this one is so awesome and outstanding that it is best used as a specimen in the landscape or maybe spaced groupings of three. This beauty was discovered as a chance seedling by Jason Hupp and named after his daughter, whose nickname is Clover.

Note: In USDA Zone 8 of the South the Eastern White Pine will appreciate some filtered sun or shade during the afternoon hours. Maybe plant it along an east-facing woddland border.

Wildlife Benefits

The Eastern White Pine supports the Imperial Moth and its seeds are a favorite of black bears, rabbits, red squirrels, and many bird species. The canopy serves as a shelter for many birds and small mammals.

Landscape & Garden Uses

At 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide or more, Blue Clovers Eastern White Pine is ideal for use as a specimen in sunny landscape border or to frame in the corners of a home. Can also be planted in spaced groupings at 12 feet or more apart or use two to frame an entrance. A nice accent tree or grouping in a mixed provacy screen planting with darker colored evergreens. Also responds well to pruning for size control or use as an outdoor Christmas tree. A fine addition to native plant gardens, conifer gardens, blue gardens, Zen gardens and wildlife gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 15 feet or more apart for spaced groupings

Growing Preferences

The Eastern White Pine is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained acidic soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. It prefers an acid soil ranging from 4.5 to 6.0 on the pH scale. Alkaline soils above 7.0 pH will result in yellowing foliage and poor health. As with so many other ornamental trees, a constantly soggy soil or wet can cause problems with the roots. Responds well to pruning for size control or for shaping purposes such as for an outdoor Christmas tree.
