The full, open habit of Pinus cembra ‘Silver Sheen’ distinguishes this Swiss Stone Pine as the largest of those we grow. Like other cembras, it produces long, two-toned needles that twist and weave together, forming bushy, blue-green branches with a “silver sheen.” The beautiful, extremely hardy tree needs little pruning to stay in scale and makes a vastly superior alternative for Pinus flexilis ‘Vanderwolf’s Pyramid’. Deserving of greater use, it resists pests and disease, grows slowly and produces year-round beauty in many landscape positions.
