Insights
Typically found in the Himalayas or the higher altitude regions of South Asia, this blue pine was first introduced to Britain in 1823. Although it may grow slowly in its first year, it will soon pick up growth as it matures, with decent sunlight and protection from heavy winds. This conifer is a recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
