French Dark Green Scots Pine Tree

Classic, regal, and festive are all words used to describe this popular evergreen tree. No matter who you are and what you think about pine trees, one look at the French Dark Green Scotch Pine (Pinus sylvestris 'French Dark Green') is enough to make you say "Oh la la!".

Of course, we would be remiss if we didn't point out that this Scotch Pine is one of the most popular Christmas Tree varieties out there! With its appealing symmetrical pyramid shape and pleasing lush dark green, almost bluish color, it's easy to see why! The needles of this Pine grow in clusters of two, making for a very full-looking tree.

As if this Pine tree wasn't good enough, you'll also be charmed when its branches peel and expose beautiful cinnamon-colored bark beneath. The effect makes for a very show tree!

During the warmer months, when the world is lusher and full of life, this pine tree will cover itself in lovely, classic, pine cones that birds adore plucking seeds from. They'll start a light green color and, as the season goes on, turn a coppery brown. Cold-hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 8, French Dark Green grows 40-50 feet in height and has a full wide base 20-35 feet wide.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

When thinking about where to plant this Scotch Pine tree, you'll be happy to know that it's tolerant of most soil types as long as it's well-draining. It's also a sun lover, so plant somewhere it can bask in the sunshine all day long! Not needing much water once established, provide your young tree with regular water through its first year.

Give these Pine plenty of space to reach the mature spread and look best with their lower limbs sweeping the ground. Mulch over the root zone, then pull it back away from touching the main trunk. You can candle prune your Pine in the early spring to create denser growth. All plants appreciate Nature Hills Root Booster and a 3-4 inch layer of arborist bark chips to support their growth.
