Regenhold Broom Japanese White Pine

Regenhold Broom Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora 'Regenhold Broom')

Regenhold Broom Japanese White Pine is a compact evergreen conifer that brings a refined, collector-style look to small landscape spaces. Its dense habit and cool needle color make it an easy way to add year-round structure without overwhelming a bed. This is a great choice for conifer gardens, rock plantings, and foundation accents where texture matters as much as size. If you want a low-maintenance Japanese white pine with a tidy footprint and a composed presence, Regenhold Broom is a strong pick.

Distinctive Features

This dwarf Japanese white pine forms a dense, compact plant with needle-rich growth that creates a tidy, tufted silhouette. Needles often read blue-green, giving it a cooler tone that pairs well with both dark evergreens and lighter foliage plants. The branching stays tight and broom-like, which helps the plant look collected and intentional even at a young age. Over time it can develop more character in structure, offering four-season interest through form and texture rather than flowers.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun is best for dense growth and strongest needle color, with light shade tolerated.
• Soil: Well-drained soil is essential, and slightly acidic to neutral soils are a good match.
• Water: Water regularly during establishment, then provide deep watering during extended dry periods.
• USDA Zones: Zones 5 to 8.
• Mature Size: Slow growing and often reaching about 3 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide over time.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Use as a focal point in a small bed where the dense, tufted form can be appreciated year-round.
• Conifer Gardens: Add to a conifer collection for compact scale, cool needle tone, and long-term structure.
• Rock and Gravel Beds: Pair with stone and gravel mulch for a clean, low-maintenance look that highlights texture.
• Foundation Accents: Place near an entry or corner bed for evergreen presence in a tidy footprint.
• Japanese-Inspired Designs: Use with boulders and restrained plant palettes for a calm, structured composition.

Low Maintenance Care

• Watering: Keep evenly moist the first season, then water deeply during drought to reduce stress.
• Mulching: Mulch over the root zone to conserve moisture, keeping mulch off the trunk to prevent rot.
• Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood and refine outline if needed.
• Candle Control: Shorten spring candles if you want tighter growth and an even denser outline.
• Site Selection: Choose a well-drained site and avoid low spots where water collects around the roots.
