Japanese White Pine Can Be Grown in a Container.

Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora) is known for its stunning beauty — clusters of silvery-blue needs form at the ends of branches. Often used for bonsai, many cultivars can be grown in containers successfully. These trees do best in full sun. Keep in mind that some varieties can reach 40 ft. tall, so choose your cultivar carefully. Japanese White Pine is hardy in Zones 5 – 7.
