Pendula Eastern White Pine
Pendula Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus 'Pendula')
Pendula Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus 'Pendula') is a dramatic weeping cultivar of the native Eastern White Pine, prized for its flowing form and soft, cascading needles. With an irregular, sculptural habit and blue-green foliage, this cultivar adds motion, artistry, and evergreen elegance to gardens large or small.
Distinctive Features
'Pendula' has no uniform shape�its form depends on training and environment. Left untrained, it spreads wide along the ground; when staked, it develops height with draping limbs that sweep toward the earth. Mature specimens can reach 10 to 15 feet tall and spread 12 to 20 feet wide, making each plant a one-of-a-kind sculpture. The soft, finely textured needles give a gentle, cloud-like appearance year-round.
