Why Plant Blue Japanese White Pine?

Blue Japanese White Pine is the definition of refined evergreen character. The needles carry a cool blue to blue-green tone that feels calm and sophisticated, and because they grow in bundles of five, the texture looks softer and more delicate than many other pines. The branching naturally develops a layered, sculptural habit, giving the tree that classic Japanese-garden aesthetic even without heavy shaping.

This is a pine that looks “collected,” not common, and it brings year-round beauty that’s just as compelling in winter as it is in summer.

How to use Blue Japanese White Pine in the landscape?

Use it as a specimen where the layered branching and blue needles can be appreciated, or incorporate it into a conifer grouping to add a softer, more refined texture among darker greens. It pairs beautifully with stone, gravel, and low, mounded evergreens, and it also looks striking near plants with burgundy foliage or golden tones for contrast. Give it room to develop its natural branching pattern and keep surrounding plants from crowding the silhouette so the sculptural form stays visible.

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box!

*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
