Pinus thunbergii

Description

A compact, evergreen, coniferous tree, which produces an irregular, billowing, cloud-shaped canopy when mature, reaching about 3m (10ft) high and 1.5m (5ft) across after ten years. It has a open, branching habit. The needles are produced in bunches of two at the tips of the stems and are around 12cm (5in) long. They are glossy green in colour. It can produce oval-shaped, brown cones, that taper to a point at the tips and are up to 7cm (3in) long. The tree withstands exposed, coastal positions extremely well and its relatively small size, means it is an excellent choice for a small, city or courtyard garden, where an architectural, or evergreen focal point is needed
