 Austrian
pine
Pinus nigra--Austrian Pine
Hardiness Zones: 3 to 7
Height: 60 ft Spread: 40 ft Form: pyramidal
Type: narrow-leaved evergreen tree
Annual Growth Rate: 12 to 18 inches or more
Comments: Austrian Pine will tolerate dryness, exposure and road salt.
Its dark green, long needles make for excellent screening material
where road salt tolerance is required. The tree is susceptible to diplodia tip blight
and Zimmerman pine moth, and for this reason should probably not be used in
some other landscapes (substitute Red Pine
instead). Check out more trees from the
Tree of the Week Archive. |
