Know before you buy
Since this tree reaches a mature width of 25 to 30 feet, you should plant it at least 15 feet away from structures or other trees to allow for proper airflow and root development.
The Austrian Pine is hardy in zones 4 through 8. It is highly adaptable to various climates, provided it is planted in a location that receives full sun.
Yes, its dense, evergreen foliage makes it an excellent choice for privacy. When planted in a row, the trees create a thick, year-round barrier that blocks both sightlines and wind.
The Austrian Pine is exceptionally resilient and can thrive in soil types that are less than ideal, including rocky or sandy ground. As long as the soil is well-drained, the tree will establish itself successfully.
The Austrian Pine is considered deer-resistant. While no plant is entirely immune to hungry wildlife, this species is rarely a preferred food source for deer.
The 1-year guarantee ensures that your tree arrives healthy and remains so for the first year after purchase. If your tree fails to thrive under normal care conditions within that timeframe, you are covered.
