Pinus densiflora 'Alice Verkade'

Plant details

A small bright green dome with packed-tight needles, 'Alice Verkade' is initially slow growing, reaching just 90cm high and wide after ten years, but eventually it will spread out and reach head height. Grow it in a rock garden, and move it out when it gets too big, replacing it with another young one. Good alternatives include 'Jane Kluis' and 'Low Grow', the latter verging on yellow-green.
