Narrative
Recorded at the U.S. National Arboretum as Pinus virginiana 'Afro'. Notes: collected in Charlotte, NC in 2000. Very compact and well-branched. Broom looked like a dense head of hair. Grows about 2" per year. Good candidate for garden dwarf conifer. [Grafted on Pinus sylvestris rootstock. Received with a group of pine cultivars that originated as witches'-brooms; they were collected, propagated, and named by Bruce Appeldoorn and Scott Antrim. The cultivar name may be only tentative at the time of accessioning. Further provenance information pending.]
