Notes
'Chalet' Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra 'Chalet') is a tree for specimen planting, accents, privacy screens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows slowly into a narrow column, so it fits tight spaces. This evergreen tolerates salt and attracts birds.
Pairs well with Gro-Low fragrant sumac, Hairy aster, and Common snowberry.
