Pinus Cembra Silver Sheen

Silver Sheen Swiss Stone Pine

Pinus cembra ‘Silver Sheen’
Silver Sheen Swiss Stone Pine carries long needles whose contrasting surfaces lend the foliage a silvery cast. The shoots look full and soft despite the open arrangement of its branches.

This is an upright tree with a broadening crown. Give it a generous planting space so the blue-green foliage and branching remain visible as it grows.

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Water the root zone during establishment and leave room for the branches to develop.

Approximate garden size
• Width: 15 ft; larger with age
• Height: 20 ft; larger with age
These are planning estimates for an established garden plant, commonly reached in 10–25 years, rather than final mature limits.

Hardiness
• Hardy to USDA Zone 3; local summer conditions also affect suitability.
