Foxtail Southwestern White Pine – 3 Gallon Pot

---

---

A handsome, photogenic native pine with a distinctive and refined pyramidal form, the Foxtail Southwestern White Pine is adored for its soft, blue-green needles tapered at the tips, evoking a foxtail look. With age, its rough, dark gray bark adds extra ornamental appeal. Reaching 7 to 8 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide at ten years of age, and maybe double that when all grown up, it is an excellent specimen or spaced grouping in sunny garden beds and landscape borders or in spaced groupings where space allows. It’s compact enough for use as an evergreen accent tree or to frame corners in home foundation plantings and is excellent for use on hillsides and slopes where it is a soil stabilizer. With plenty of sunshine and well-drained soil, it’ll be easy to care for and drought-tolerant when established. A long-lived picturesque beauty that will not go unnoticed!

The Foxtail Southwestern White Pine is easy to grow in lightly moist, well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun, but will tolerate some light shade. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is more heat and drought-tolerant than other species of white pines. A constantly soggy soil can cause problems with the roots. It does not require pruning; however, stray stems that might spoil the plant’s shape can be snipped. It is also suitable for interesting topiary forms or bonsai.
