Pinus sylvestris 'Fastigiata'

Fastigiate Scots Pine

Fastigiata Scots Pine grows as a tall, narrow column with stiff branches directed upward. Its strong vertical outline can provide a focal point in a spacious planting. Older plants may become more open and less tidy.

Give it full sun and well-drained soil. Scots pine accepts poor or dry ground and favors acidic conditions. Allow for a tree that can eventually reach about 50 feet tall.
