Notes

'Hindu-Pan' Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris 'Hindu-Pan') is a tree for specimen planting, accent, rock gardens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The columnar form grows 36 to 72 inches tall and wide at a rapid pace. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Birds visit this fragrant evergreen.

Pairs well with Limeglow creeping juniper, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Brown-eyed Susan, and Mount Hood daffodil.
