Lacebark pine, is a slow-growing conifer which typically grows 35m tall eventually. It is slow growing and can be pruned to a multistemmed tree and maintained its retain a smaller height. It has exfoliating bark which peels, somewhat like a sycamore, to reveal an underlying patchwork of white, olive, light purple and silver, eventually becoming milky white at maturity.. It takes at least 10 years to get the patch bark and even more to get hot white. Younger trees may exhibit some mottling, however. Medium to dark green needles 50-80mm long) are in bundles of three. Small, yellowish-brown 50mm cones. Tree only 15cm high. None available anywhere that I can find. Useful to train in the Japanese style.
