Hello. I could use some help with a plant suggestion.

I am looking for:
- small sized tree (4-8 feet wide and up to 10 feet tall)
- full sun
- zone 9
- blue-ish in color
that could serve as a focal/specimen plant. I was considering White Pine Pinus parviflora 'Blue Angel' but have not been successful locating it at any nearby nursery. Is there anything similar that I should also consider?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Pinus parviflora 'Blue Angel' is hardy for Z9.

Here is a site that may help locate one.


Punch in your zip to help locate a retailer.

Thanks Ron. I hadn't noticed the zip code feature on the Monrovia page until you pointed it out. I will give it a try.
