A dense, rounded, fully hardy, evergreen conifer, producing short, blue-green needles in clusters of five. Pinus strobus 'Blue Shag' will not form cones until fully established, at least 5 years after planting. However your patience will be well rewarded when you see its first tapering, cylindrical, green cones of 20cm (8) in length! A fantastic specimen plant for the front of a sunny border, and certainly an effective addition to the rock garden. Pinus strobus 'Blue Shag' is notable for its tolerance to salt-laden air making it ideal for seaside gardens. Once established, this robust conifer will also tolerate drought and exposed conditions. Height and spread: 1.2m (4').
