PINE 
Austrian Pine (Pinus nigra). The Austrian Pine is generally accepted as the best 
large Pine for use in landscape plantings. It sometimes reaches a height of about 
60 feet and a diameter of 40 to 50 feet. It is fast growing and adapts itself to a wide 
variety of conditions. 
Mugho Pine (Pinus mugho mughus). Here is a low growing dwarf Pine. It is 
compact and round in shape. Although it sometimes reaches a height of 10 feet 
and a spread of 15 feet, the size can be controlled by trimming. The foliage is deep 
green. It is hardy and will tolerate some shade. 
White Pine (Pinus strobus). Fine texture of foliage and gracefulness in branch- 
ing are distinctive qualities of the “Monarch of the Forests.” The slender, blue- 
green needles are borne in clusters of five. The habit of growth is vigorous and 
rapid, and it will grow under various soil conditions.
