The Pom Pom, Poodle or Hindu-Pan is a sculptural cultivar of the "Scotch" Pine (Pinus sylvestris), trained into a distinctive cloud-pruned form. Its open, architectural branching is finished with dense, rounded pads of blue-green needles, creating a living silhouette that feels as considered as a piece of garden sculpture. Twisted needles and flaky orange-red bark add texture and character throughout.
Slow-growing and hardy, the Hindu-Pan is well suited to outdoor spaces where its sculptural form can be appreciated year-round. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, with spring pruning recommended to maintain its defined cloud-like shape over time.
