Austrian Pine
Kendall Hill Nursery grows and sells Austrian Pine, or pinus nigra, trees. The Austrian Pine is a large evergreen specimen tree maturing, with a medium growth rate, at about 60' tall with a spread of 20' to 40’. The bold, upright, broadly pyramidal growth habit in youth is highlighted by long, dark green, dense needles on stout ascending branches. The tree performs best in full sun in moist, well-drained soils, but it is very adaptable to adverse soil conditions, including: clay, compacted, poor, and alkaline soils. It also tolerates moderate to heavy winter salt spray, heat, drought, and pollution. The Austrian Pine is known as probably the most urban-tolerant pine for the Midwestern United States and it can be successfully grown in zones 4 to 7.
