This is a very useful form of the Austrian pine. Columnar habit and densely needled, upright branches make it an ideal plant for a smaller space. It also has interesting furrowed bark, typical of the species. Tolerates heat and drought, clay and alkaline soils, and coastal conditions. Great for a vertical accent where space is limited. Growth Rate fast, 12"+ annually
