Pine, Compact Gem Bosnian
Pinus heldreichii (leucodermis)
Description
A very slow-growing, narrow tree, Pinus heldreichii (leucodermis) ‘Compact Gem’ is a time-honored treasure for the garden, especially one with limited space. The sturdy Bosnian Pine matures into a dense, well-proportioned, columnar tree that stays trim even after many years. Elegant, long, dark green needles cover the tree’s branches thickly and contribute to a dynamic, full-size feel that fits in tight garden spaces. Originally introduced to the trade in 1964 by Hillier Nursery in England, ‘Compact Gem’ warrants continued acclaim and wider use in today’s tighter garden spaces.
Superior disease and pest resistance and outstanding health assure year-round beauty.
