Growing & Maintenance Tips for Pinus sylvestris 'Globosa Viridis'

With its rounded, upright shape this pine provides a visual accent in the garden. The contrasting size between the young and old foliage adds to the textural and focal appeal. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and it should thrive in inner city environments.

To improve looks and airflow, these plants would benefit from periodic 'combing' (use your fingers) to remove dead material.
