Common name:
Austrian pine
Family:
Pinaceae (pine family)
Distribution:
Europe
IUCN Red list:
Least concern
Hardiness:
USDA Zone 3
Life form:
Evergreen tree
Comments:
A stiff needled evergreen to 50' in height with a spread generally half that. Dense and conical in youth, in old age becomes flat-topped. Bark is attractive, rough grayish brown or dark brown. Adaptable, widely used along roads due to its ability to resist road salt damage. In recent years a tip blight problem has caused significant dieback. Moist soil is best but it will handle drought and heat better than most pines. Plant in full sun.
