Description of the plant:
Malinki, however Slavic the name sounds, is a Danish variety of Bosnian pine. It originated in Tånum Planteskole and was introduced to market by Werner Wüstermeyer’s Nursery in Recklinghausen, Germany, in mid-1990’s. It is a dwarf selection making a neat, elegantly pyramidal trees with vertical, stiff, deep green, and glossy needles borne in two’s. The bark is very light, almost white. In 10 years, it can grows only 1-1.5m tall and is expected to reach twice as much in maturity. Pines need plenty of sunlight and free draining soil, which can be sandy, but should not be poor.
