Swiss Stone Pine
What: An excellent landscape evergreen with a dense, compact columnar habit, the Pinus cembra (Swiss Stone Pine) keeps its lower branches longer than other pines. It’s hardy, drought-tolerant, and can live for over 120 years under ideal conditions.
Best use: Swiss Stone Pine serves as an outstanding vertical accent in landscapes. Its distinctive pyramidal growth habit and dark green evergreen foliage that remains attractive year-round make it a valuable specimen tree.
