Description

The Dwarf Scotch Pine is a beautiful, slow growing evergreen that reaches 2' high and 3' wide. It is bushy and has a coarse texture. The needles are about 1" long, usually 2 per cluster and very dense. Positive growth will result from planting in acidic, well-drained soil. It is best to destroy severely beetle-ridden shrubs. Pines are highly combustible plants.

 

This plant is on the City of Ashland’s Prohibited Plant List and should only be planted if it is at least 5 feet away from any structure.

Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
