Domingo Limber Pine
Domingo Limber Pine (Pinus flexilis 'Domingo')
Domingo Limber Pine (Pinus flexilis 'Domingo') is a compact, upright selection of the native Limber Pine, chosen for its tight, pyramidal form and soft blue-green needles. With its tidy structure, slow growth, and excellent adaptability to harsh conditions, 'Domingo' serves as a versatile and resilient evergreen for both formal and naturalistic landscapes. It offers year-round structure and subtle color that complements a wide range of plantings.
Distinctive Features
'Domingo' is noted for its dense, conical shape and finely textured needles, which range from bluish-green to silvery-blue depending on light conditions. The tree�s flexible branches and tough constitution are inherited from its wild ancestor, making it tolerant of wind, cold, and poor soils. Its smaller stature and strong central leader make it especially useful in smaller landscapes or spaces where a full-size limber pine would be too large.
