Notes
'Malink' bosnian pine (Pinus heldreichii 'Malink') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, privacy screens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and most soil types. It grows slowly into an oval shape, stays evergreen, and tolerates salt. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Give it room to reach its full size.
Pairs well with Carstens mugo pine, Red Baron cogon grass, and Purple moor grass.
