    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A tight columnar Austrian pine from Harvard's Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain, MA. Rich green needles and dense branching.

    By: Conifer Kingdom

    A popular columnar evergreen with blue-green densely-packed needles. Can be used as a single upright feature in a garden or used as a hedge, especially if space is a premium.

    By: Bloom River Gardens

    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
