FULL SUN

NON-NATIVE

MODERATE DROUGHT TOLERANCE

H: 20FT W: 10FT

Bosnian pine is native to the mountains of the Balkans, Italy, and Greece. Its deep-green needles and naturally compact form make it an excellent specimen or accent tree. Young cones are unique, shiny bluish-purple, maturing to brown with age. It is a slow grower, adding less than 10 inches per year, and can live for 80 years or more under ideal conditions. Resilient and easy to grow, it resists pests and disease, tolerates coastal exposure, and is rarely bothered by deer. Well-suited to smaller gardens and even large containers, this waterwise, low-maintenance tree offers enduring greenery and resilience.
