Growing & Maintenance Tips for Pinus nigra 'Compacta'

This pine is a low maintenance, uniform growing specimen and with its smaller stature is perfect for small spaces or city gardens. As with most pines, this unusual plant grows best in a well-drained soil. If necessary, pinching the candles in mid-spring will encourage a more compact form.
