Discover the majestic beauty of Pinus nigra var. austriaca, commonly known as Austrian Pine or European Black Pine. Native to Austria and the Balkans, this robust evergreen conifer transforms into a captivating, spreading specimen as it matures. With a dense habit and stiff, paired needles that are longer than those of the Scots Pine, it showcases a vibrant green hue and an impressive resistance to various environments including urban, coastal, and exposed locations. Perfectly suited for screening and windbreaks, this versatile tree thrives in a variety of soils, including chalk, and prefers sunny sites. It reaches an ultimate height of 60-100 ft with a spread of up to 25 ft, offering a striking silhouette with its grey, fissured bark adorned with silvery plates. In spring, vibrant green "candles" of new growth appear, maturing into cones that transition from green to brown over 2-2.5 years. Whether used for ornamental purposes or functional landscapes, the Austrian Pine stands as a testament to enduring elegance and adaptability.
