Pinus koraiensis ‘Blue Ball’ is a dwarf selection of Korean Pine with blue green needles that emphasize the blue. Short stiff branches and long needles form a globe shaped plant that has a bit of irregularity to it. Hardy and adaptable, with minimal disease or insect problems, ‘Blue Ball’ has great potential for a variety of settings. This is a witch’s broom selection made by G.D. Böhlje nursery, Westerstede, Germany in the early 2000s. The original broom ortet was found in a specimen of P. koraiensis ‘Silveray.’ This cultivar is sometimes seen listed as ‘Böhlje HB,’ which is quite likely a provisional name.
