Green Tower Austrian Pine

The Green Tower Austrian Pine is a very slender, upright column of green needles, reaching 8 feet wide in 10 years, but being hardly more than one foot wide. It has long needles on tightly-packed vertical branches, so the foliage predominates giving a unique ‘hairy’ look to the plant. Grow it as a special specimen for a high-profile position or mix it with other dwarf conifers in a colorful collection of the rare and beautiful. It is also excellent as a specimen in a planter or attractive pot.

• Unique narrow, vertical dwarf pine tree
• Full-length needles create a ‘bed-head’ look
• Hardy and drought resistant
• Excellent specimen for small gardens
• Grows well in urban conditions

The Green Tower Austrian Pine grows best in full sun, in well-drained soil of any type. Avoid low-lying spots, and plant on a slope in heavy clay soils, for better drainage. This tree is hardy throughout zone 4 and it is tolerant of both heat and cold. Once established it is drought resistant and reliable. It has no serious pests or diseases and it needs no pruning to keep its slender form, although it can be candled to make it even denser and more compact, if desired.
