its mark right...

you have been making these requests forever..

how about some pix .. any results????

as far as i am concerned.. all blue parvs are just about the same blue.... but beyond the blue.. there are many shapes ...

and perhaps.. a pic of where you want these to fit.. other things might come to mind ...

and most are very airy.. as compared to fully clothed.. if i am understanding your term [???] ... they are not going to look like xmas trees ... imho .. or need you define that term????

Ken -

"Fully-clothed", to me, is where the abundance of needles dominate the structure from an appearance perspective. It is the opposite of an open, airy form.

Pinus parviflora 'Cleary' is a good recommendation. Compact and slow growing.

As Ken says,"all blue parvs are just about the same blue."

I have 'Glauca' and 'Blue Wave' All same color...50-50 green blue.

Fully clothed...foliage clear to ground without interruption

Here is a link that might be useful: Pinus parviflora 'Cleary'

I think the forms are somewhat variable. You'll have to find a fully clothed speciman in my opinion. Or prune it as such.

5 stores...over 20 specimans...I finally found one to my liking. This is 'Glauca'.

For the gold selection - although not a parviflora:
Pinus contorta 'Frisian Gold'
