Pinus strobus Macopin
Available early May
Eastern White Pine
'Macopin' was discovered as a witch's broom in Macopin, NJ, in 1979 by William Gotelli and George Erhle. This dwarf, globose form has a tendency to grow irregularly with age and get "shrubby." If given the room to grow, it makes a nice focal point. It has the typical blue-green needles of the Eastern White Pine but will produce abundant cones even at an early age.
