Pinus strobus 'Angel Falls' | Cultivar Spotlight
Pinus strobus 'Angel Falls'
Zones: 3-8
Pinus strobus 'Angel Falls' is a captivating cultivar known for its long needles and distinctive, heavily cascading habit. This unique pine is best staked at an early age to encourage height before allowing its natural, graceful weeping form to develop. As it matures, 'Angel Falls' forms a narrow silhouette with a larger, more pronounced skirt at the base.
Discovered as a chance seedling at Iseli Nursery, 'Angel Falls' is a remarkable descendant of Pinus strobus 'Pendula'. It boasts a significantly slower growth rate than its parent, typically reaching 8-10 feet in height over a span of 10 years.
The name 'Angel Falls' is inspired by the world's highest waterfall, located in Canaima National Park, Venezuela, symbolizing the tree's cascading beauty.
This cultivar is perfect for adding vertical interest and a touch of elegance to landscapes within zones 3-8, offering a striking visual appeal throughout the year.
