Four years of Pinus parviflora 'Blue Lou'

Today, my reminder of Dianne Fincham is another plant I bought from Coenosium's. This beautiful pine shows a somewhat upright habit though there are somewhat conflicting growth habits I am aware of.

It seems to be growing about six inches a year and has that great silver-blue color that we all love about Pinus parviflora.

I look around my gardens and I see beauty but more than anything I see life. I don't know how differently my life would be without meeting Bob and Dianne but I do know it would be both less beautiful and less full of life.

Will, this is a very nice blue coloured cultivar of the Japanese white pine!
I also came across it for the first time during my visit at Coenosium Gardens back in January 2012.
I think this might by the stock plant from which your specimen derives from:
