Pinus nigra subsp nigra

Plant details

This is a broad, cone-shaped, mid-green conifer with thick needle-covered branches. When young, the tree has foliage right down to the ground but as it gets older and the broad top of the tree shades the base, the lower branches need to be removed. It needs quite a large garden to accommodate it, but will tolerate light pruning. It is best grown as an isolated specimen.
