Connecticut Slate Dwarf White Pine (Pinus strobus ‘Connecticut Slate’) displays striking grey-blue needles that remain full and lush all year. Reaching around 5 to 6 feet tall and spreading 8 to 10 feet wide, it stands out among dwarf conifers with its faster growth and slightly more open yet still dense habit. The medium-length needles cluster tightly, creating a pleasingly layered texture. Whether used as a standout specimen or part of a border, this easy-care evergreen provides a timeless, cool-toned focal point in any landscape.
A live conifer over the holidays not only elevates your décor with natural color and scent, but also makes a thoughtful, eco-friendly gift. Enjoy its subtle pine fragrance indoors during the winter, then move it outdoors in spring rather than discarding it. You’ll save on the cost and waste of plastic ornaments, all while embracing a refreshing slice of nature at home. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the season and preserve green beauty for years ahead.
Holiday Connecticut Slate Dwarf White Pine Care
From January to spring, keep your pine in a spot with bright light and moderate temperatures, watering when the top inch of soil begins to dry. Occasional misting helps prevent browning needles if indoor air is very dry. If it outgrows its pot, gently shift it to a slightly larger container filled with a mix of well-draining soil.
After the final frost, introduce the pine to outdoor conditions by placing it outside a few hours each day for about a week. Then, select a location with full sun to partial shade and dig a hole twice the width of the root ball. Backfill with well-drained soil, water thoroughly, and mulch lightly to retain moisture. This straightforward approach ensures a smooth transition to the garden.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
