Description
Pinus nigra is a large coniferous evergreen tree, growing to 20–55 metres (66–180 ft) high at maturity and spreading to 20 to 40 feet wide. The bark is grey to yellow-brown, and is widely split by flaking fissures into scaly plates, becoming increasingly fissured with age. The leaves ("needles") are thinner and more flexible in western populationsGrowing Details:Common Name: Austrian PineGenus: PinusSpecies: Nigra NigraSkill Level: BeginnerExposure: Full sun / Partial ShadeHardiness: HardySoil type: Well-drained/light, Acidic, MoistHeight: 20-55mSpread: 8-16mDescription:Pinus nigra is moderately fast growing, at about 30–70 centimetres (12–28 in) per year.
