Pinus Strobus “Torulosa”
Contorted Eastern White Pine
Here is another unique plant. The twisted light blue green needles and twisted stems give this plant its character. It was discovered in 1932 in Rochester, New York’s Seneca Park. This plant likes 25 inches of rainfall per year. It is not particular of soil types or pH, however will show chlorosis(yellowing) of needles in alkaline soils. It is best to avoid streetside plantings with this specimen as it is intolerant of urban pollution. The tree should be pruned to maintain a tight full tree.
