  • Description

  • Notes

The smaller stature of this Austrian pine selection makes it well suited for smaller urban gardens. Same lush, deep green needles as its larger kin. Slow growing to 15 feet or so, and about 8 to 10 feet wide. Makes a nice natural hedge or screen, or plant a grouping to create an urban forest.
