This one is not. ‘Glauca Nana’ is a dwarf, densely branched form of \u003cem\u003ePinus sylvestris\u003c\/em\u003e that builds a broad rounded to conical bush of stiff, twisted, blue grey needles and stays at a scale that fits a rockery, a border or a large pot. The blue is strongest in cold weather, which makes it useful in cool climate gardens through the months when everything else has shut down. Growth is slow enough that it needs no pruning at all to hold its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Dwarf Blue Scots Pine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContained Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: A dwarf selection that fits a garden bed rather than a paddock, with no cutting back required.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue grey needles held in pairs, twisted along the shoot, with the colour deepening through winter.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDensity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tight branching gives a solid mass rather than an open pine outline, so it reads as a shrub in the planting.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold Endurance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fully hardy to severe frost and snow, which makes it a natural in alpine and tablelands gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Input\u003c\/strong\u003e: Once established it needs no feeding, no shaping and very little water.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRockery and Gravel Bed\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sits correctly among boulders and low alpines where a full sized conifer would swamp the scene.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Container\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slow growth and dense form make it one of the better conifers for a permanent pot.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCool Climate Border\u003c\/strong\u003e: Provides year round evergreen structure behind perennials that die back in winter.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Garden Conifer\u003c\/strong\u003e: The choice where the pine look is wanted but there is no room for a pine.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 to 1.5m for a low informal run.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 2.5m.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn to early spring.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining, sandy or gravelly, acidic to neutral.
