Notes
'Oregon Green' austrian pine (Pinus nigra 'Oregon Green') is a tree for specimen planting, hedges, privacy screens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a moderate rate and keeps a broad shape. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Once settled, it handles drought and salt, and birds visit it.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Blazing star, and Poppy mallow.
