Description

Appearing like a broad, cascading waterfall on a mighty river, this form of weeping white pine is an improvement of the very popular weeping tree often used in commercial and residential landscapes. It is dense and full in appearance, with short internodes and numerous branches, all cascading from the highest point the plant is trained to. Mike and Ken Yeager of Hickory Hollow Nursery and Landscapes in Suffern, NY, found this plant as a sport on a Pinus strobus ‘Pendula’ in 1998, near Congers, New York. Scions were sent to Iseli Nursery, where it was propagated and released to the wholesale nursery trade.
