Pinus parviflora Hagoromo

Common Name: Hagoromo Japanese White Pine

Description: The Hagoromo Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora 'Hagoromo') is a dwarf evergreen conifer celebrated for its compact, globular form and distinctive sea blue-green foliage. This miniature cultivar grows exceptionally slowly, averaging only 1.3 to 2.5 cm per year, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, rockeries, or container planting. Its dense, bun-like shape requires minimal maintenance, and it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. In Melbourne's climate, 'Hagoromo' offers year-round visual interest, particularly suited for gardeners seeking a unique, low-growing conifer.
