Plant Details:

Plant Family: Pinaceae
Plant Description: This variety of Austrian pine never reaches more than 25 feet in height and grows in a dense column of dark green needles. It works well in rows as a screen or as a specimen plant. It can be tolerant of drought, once established, but should be given plenty of water during establishment.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Tree - Evergreen
Plant Care: Tree - Evergreen (single-stemmed woody plants that keep their leaves during winter): Light pruning is required to maintain desired shape and to avoid branching problems such as double-leader stems. Evergreen trees can be difficult to establish. Adequate winter moisture is critical for the first 2-3 years until the roots establish. If there is a dry winter check the root ball with your finger for moisture before watering. Monitor for pests and diseases.
