About Beuvron Dwarf Scots Pine

Pinus sylvestris 'Beuvronensis' · also called Beuvron Dwarf Scots Pine, Beuvronensis Scots Pine · houseplant

Pinus sylvestris 'Beuvronensis' is a classic slow-growing, dome-shaped cultivar of the Scots pine, one of Britain's few native pines and one of the most widely distributed conifers in the world. It was first selected in France and produces short, twisted blue-grey needles on a densely branched rounded head, making it a long-established favourite for rock gardens and specimen planting. The most important care point is that, unlike many dwarf conifers, it slowly develops an attractive orange-red trunk as it matures, but this requires a sunny, open position to develop fully. Pinus species are listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and potentially harmful to dogs; classified as toxic.
