Growing & Maintenance Tips for Pinus strobus 'Fastigiata'

This pine can be a loose, open grower, however, pinching the candles mid-spring will encourage a more compact form. Its extremely narrow form makes it ideal for confined landscape areas. As with most pines, this unusual plant grows best in a well-drained soil. It is intolerant of heavy air pollution such as ozone and sulphur dioxide.
