Broom Jack Pine
Broom Jack pine is a small, irregularly-shaped evergreen tree. It has medium-length green needles and irregular, curving branches, making it a good focal point, accent plant or specimen tree for a small area.
Grown from a witch's broom selected from Jack pine, this cultivar is only grown by Iseli Nursery. It may take some searching to locate one available for sale, but it worth the effort.
