Swiss stone pine, Pinus cembra. 3 year old potted tree.
A majestic evergreen conifer native to the European Alps and certain parts of Eastern Europe. Flourishing in high-altitude regions, this resilient tree thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil, particularly in cooler climates and mountainous terrains. Grows in USDA Zones 3-9
An excellent addition to alpine gardens, rockeries, or as a focal point in larger landscapes. Additionally, its edible seeds, known as pine nuts, are a sought-after delicacy and add to the tree's allure.
In its native habitat, the Swiss stone pine can reach heights of 50 to 70 feet, boasting a pyramid-shaped crown adorned with long, soft, blue-green needles that emit a soothing fragrance, adding to its charm. Its slow growth rate and dense, symmetrically shaped canopy make it an appealing choice for landscaping.
For optimal growth, provide well-drained soil and ample sunlight while ensuring protection from strong winds.
