Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Fastigtiata' is a columnar form of Scotch pine with tight, narrow, ascending branches. It matures over time to 25 feet tall or more with a spread to 8 feet wide. Blue-green needles are attractive year round.
Grow in full sun and well-drained soil; though it prefers laomy, acidic soil it is tolerant of poorer, drier soils. Strong wind resistance.
