Austrian Black Pine Medium Tree Seedling The Jonsteen Company

Extremely common in Europe and Western Asia, Austrian Black Pine ( Pinus nigra) is a very dark green, massive, and rugged tree of strong character. Its stiff, upswept needles are 3 – 7 inches long, arranged in pairs, and the tree features a dense, stout, oval-to-pyramidal form. A slow to moderate grower, Austrian Black Pines can reach heights of 150 feet, and make an imposing landscape decoration or indomitable windbreak. This tree is highly tolerant of urban and seacoast conditions, as well as being extremely cold-hardy (down to -20ºF). Austrian Black Pines love the sun, can adapt to many soil and topographic conditions, and generally show off a very bold texture in the landscape. Their dense, dark green color and stout form have led some to characterize them as a "somber" tree. In age (the oldest Austrian Black Pine is more than 750 years old), the exposed bark features an ornamental white-and-black checkerboard pattern.
