Vanderwolf Pine is a slow-growing conifer shrub with a dense upright pyramidal habit that opens as it matures. The thick tufts of long, soft, twisted blue-green needles turn yellow in winter. Grows best in full sun with and moist, well-drained soils. Vanderwolf has excellent pest and disease resistance.
