The gorgeous Pinus heldreichii (leucodermis) ‘Banderica’ is filled with clusters of clean, lustrous, dark green needles decorated with white resin on buds, candles and stems. The easy-care conifer with a big personality conjures words like chubby, squat and pyramidal, but none does justice to the compact, friendly dwarf with the sturdy constitution and almost cuddly presence. Another superior selection from this wonderful species, it requires no pruning to maintain its wide-bottomed form. Grows 3-5 inches a year.
