Bosnian Pine

Bosnian pine is a very attractive, slow-growing pine tree. It has dark green, medium-length needles and light grey bark.

Bosnian pine is different from other pines for two reasons. First, it will eventually grow moderately tall, but remains fairly narrow. This quality makes it good for narrow spaces or small yards. Second, it is not as dense as other evergreens, with some visibility through the branches.

Thus, it is a great option where a solid evergreen mass is not desired.
