Plant Description: Native to the Balkans and southeastern Europe, this pine can grow quite tall in its natural habitat. In landscapes it averages 30 - 40 feet tall.

It can tolerate a wide range of conditions but performs poorly in soggy soils or extreme heat.
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.
