Comments: This fast-growing, evergreen selection of Scotch pine has been touted as being the bluest needled selection in the trade. It develops an open, upright habit with very thick needles and needs severe pruning to keep it dense. Winter buds are large and glossy, bright reddish brown. Expect 35' tall and 15-20' wide.
