This dwarf variety of the Japanese Black Pine is truly remarkable. It is a vigorous, compact grower, boasting perfectly arranged luscious, dark green needles. In winter this plant is at its best, when the large white buds contrast beautifully with the dark green foliage. With some time, as it has a slow to moderate growth rate, 'Thunderhead' develops into a stylish, upright form. For all of its attractive and desirable qualities, it is likely that the demand for this plant will only increase. Zone 5 - 8
