Japanese Red Pine

An evergreen, this tree is fast-growing in youth, eventually reaching 100 feet, although it usually tops off at 50-60 feet. The small form of this pine, called `Tanyosho,’ normally develops two or more trunks. It has handsome red bark and bright blue-green or yellow-green needles. The plentiful cones are two inches long.
