Description Black Prince Austrian Pine is a true dwarf conifer (no taller than 6’ at maturity) that features dark-green needles and striking white candles.

Morphology:
Look for this pine to grow to 6’ in height and perhaps 5’ in width at full maturity when grown in a maritime climate. The shape is rounded, and the needles are matte in finish.

Adaptation:
Fully adapted to urban sites with ease. This Austrian Pine cultivar performs best when the site has full sun and a slightly acidic soil.

Pests:
Free of problems in the Pacific Northwest.
