Pinus parviflora v. glauca Japanese White Pine

Beautiful tree. Central Kentucky is at the beginning of its southernmost range. Develops into a 35- to 50-foot-tall, wide-spreading graceful, irregularly-shaped tree, with a broad, flattened canopy. The 1- to 2.5-inch-long needles are stiff and twisted, forming glaucous blue/green tufts of foliage at branch tips, and creating an overall fine texture to the tree's silhouette.
