Pinus sylvestris Bonna
Bonna Scotch Pine
Pinus sylvestris ‘Bonna’
Bonna Scots Pine combines silvery blue needles with reddish, peeling bark. The open branch structure exposes the warm bark tones and creates a strong contrast with the cool-colored foliage.
This is a substantial tree whose individual character becomes more pronounced with age. Place it where both the trunk and the canopy can be seen.
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: 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.
