Notes
'Satellit' bosnian pine (Pinus heldreichii 'Satellit') is a tree for borders, specimens, accents, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly into an oval shape, stays green all year, and tolerates salt. Bees and birds visit it. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Autumn Gold maidenhair tree, Hansa rose, White fringe tree, and Mount Hood daffodil.
