Notes
'Globosa Viridis' austrian pine (Pinus nigra 'Globosa Viridis') is a tree for borders, specimen plantings, accents, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It stays evergreen all year and grows at a moderate rate. Deer tend to pass it by. Birds visit it, and it tolerates drought and salt.
