Plant life cycle:

Perennial

Habitat:

Originally from the Mediterranean region, the Pencil Pine is accustomed to hot, dry climates and it's often found in hilly, coastal landscapes.

Leaf information:

Dense blue-green evergreen foliage

Preferred Soil:

Prefers well-drained soils

With a narrow, columnar growing form and subtle blue-green foliage this plant can often be seen in Mediterranean landscapes. This variety creates particular interest by creating dramatic vertical lines in the landscape, making it a favorite for formal gardens, border planting, or as a framing plant.

Care Considerations:

Regular watering is generally needed until the plant is well-established, after which it requires minimal watering except occasionally during extended dry periods. Requires little pruning unless shaping is desired or to remove damaged branches. Fetiliser is generally not required, however a slow-release fertiliser can be applied in early spring to help support growth.
