Plants: Pinus austriaca - Austrian pine

Pine trees are superb trees which grow in a wide climate scale - from cold northern countries to hot coastal sites. They are probably most beautiful in their natural environment.

Austrian pine was first classified by Austrian botanist Johann Arnold in 1785. This very hardy pine has average growth rate, dense habit, dark green needles about 10 cm long. It can stand alone as a superb specimen or use it as a windbreak. Will thrive in any semi-moist soil, always well-drained.
