Pinus Luecodermis

Bosnian Pine

Bosnian pine (Pinus heldreichii, also known as P. leucodermis) forms a dense evergreen crown with dark needles. Its narrow young outline gradually broadens into a substantial pyramid, making it useful as a specimen or screen.

The canopy retains its foliage through winter. Allow the natural framework to develop without crowding neighboring plants or paths.

Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil. Water during establishment and allow enough room for the developing crown.
