Frank's Austrian Pine

Choose Frank's Austrian Pine if you want a narrow, columnar evergreen for a tight vertical accent. The tradeoff: it is slow and stays small, so it is not a windbreak or a fast privacy screen.

Buy This If

• You want a narrow, upright evergreen accent.
• You have a tight spot that needs height, not width.
• Deer browsing is a concern.

Skip This If

• You need a fast, full privacy screen.
• You want quick size.
• Your soil stays wet.

PGNE Report Card

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd use Frank's Austrian Pine as a narrow vertical accent or a formal pair, not as a windbreak. It stays tight and columnar with little pruning, but it is slow, so start with a size close to what you want.

Plant Facts

Customers Usually Ask

Will it stay narrow?

Yes; it holds a tight columnar form with little or no pruning.

Can I use it for privacy?

Only in a tight, patient row; it is narrow and slow, so it works better as an accent than a fast screen.

Is it deer resistant?

Yes; like most pines, deer usually leave it alone.
