Weymouth pine 'Elkins Dwarf'
Also known as: Information to be completed
A dwarf, slow-growing, evergreen conifer, which produces a compact, flattened, globe to dome-shaped bush, ultimately reaching about 1m (39in) high and 1.2m (4ft) across. It has a neat, densely branching habit. The short, stiff needles are produced in bunches of five at the tips of the stems and are blue-green in colour throughout the year. Its small size, means it is an excellent choice for a small, city or courtyard garden, where an architectural, or evergreen focal point is needed
