CESARINI BLUE PINE
Pinus flexilis
For a denser upright tree that provides a bit of narrow screening, a good choice is ‘Cesarini Blue’ pine. If left unstaked, this tree forms a lyrical, curving leader. Alternatively, it can be kept much smaller and denser with annual pruning. ‘Cesarini Blue’ is reasonably drought tolerant once
established in well-drained soils and provides an ideal focal point with its
long, strikingly blue needles.
