Growing & Maintenance Tips
This pine is a low-maintenance, uniform specimen. An excellent evergreen for large lawns, parks or woodland areas. If necessary, pinching the candles mid-spring will encourage a more compact form. Scots pines are highly tolerant of urban pollution and should thrive in inner city environments.
