Pinus Strobus Stowe Pillar
Stowe Pillar Eastern White Pine
Pinus strobus ‘Stowe Pillar’
Stowe Pillar Eastern White Pine forms a slender column of blue-green needles. Its comparatively close, sturdy branching gives the narrow crown a full appearance without losing the soft texture of white pine.
This is an upright tree for positions needing height with a limited spread. Allow room above it and plan for continued growth rather than treating the young plant as a fixed-size column.
Choose a sunny site with moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Keep it away from road-salt spray and water regularly while the roots establish.
Approximate garden size
• Width: 6 ft; larger with age
• Height: 25 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.
