Pinus Nigra

Austrian Pine

Austrian pine (Pinus nigra) has stout branches, paired dark green needles, and deeply textured bark. A pointed young crown becomes broader and more dome-shaped as the tree matures.

Its structure combines broad growth and dense branching. Growth is moderate. The foliage supplies a year-round framework.

Choose a sunny, open site. Provide well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
