Pinus Virginiana

Virginia Pine

Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) develops a loose, flattened crown with age. It is an evergreen of sunny, open ground, including dry, sandy or worn soils, and is best given room to retain its natural character.

Its structure combines an open canopy and a tapered crown. Growth is slow. The foliage supplies a year-round framework.

Choose a sunny, open site. Provide acidic, well-drained soil.
