The Mountain Pine is a dense evergreen tree that grows at a moderate rate, native to high-altitude regions in Europe. It features dark green needles in bundles of two, and its bark is reddish-brown and scaly. Typically growing to a height of 15 feet at maturity and 6 feet wide, it has a conical shape. This tree thrives in full sun with well-drained, acidic soils and is particularly well-suited for colder climates. Mountain Pine is valued for its hardiness, unique form, and year-round appeal, making it an attractive addition to both natural and cultivated landscapes.
