Pinus strobus Torulosa

Twisted Eastern White Pine

  • Native evergreen
  • Curled, twisted needles
  • Soft, blue-green needles
  • Fuller and more fluffy look
  • Large and rapid grower
  • Easy to grow

White Pine is one of our area's standout native evergreen trees. 'Torulosa' puts a new twist on this old time favorite with curled, twisted needles that cover the plant and give it a different look and texture that is subtle but readily apparent in the landscape. The needles are soft and carry the same pleasing blue-green tinge that is one of White Pine's most agreeable characteristics but they corkscrew with 2 or more twists and give the tree and fuller, more fluffy look that the species. Like its regular needled parent, 'Torulosa' is a large, rapidly growing tree that performs well in full sun or partial shade so give lots of room and let your neighbors comment about this easy to grow, showy novelty.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Pinus strobus Torulosa

Pinus strobus ‘Torulosa’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil with average moisture. Water regularly during establishment, then only during extended dry periods. This variety prefers slightly acidic soil and benefits from a light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring. Minimal pruning is needed. Remove only dead or damaged branches to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood.
