Columnar Scotch Pine
What: A distinctive evergreen tree, Pinus sylvestris ‘Fastigiata’ features a narrowly columnar growth habit with rich green needles and striking orange bark when mature. This Scotch Pine variety grows to 25 feet tall with a spread of only 8 feet, making it perfect for smaller landscapes.
Best use: Excellent as a tall screen in tight spaces, for adding strong vertical interest to the landscape, or as a feature specimen tree. Its narrow profile makes it ideal for smaller home landscapes where space is limited but height is desired.
