Every landscape needs a focal point, and this mid-sized native selection would fill that role beautifully. The Shore Pine Tree (Pinus contorta var. contorta) is a dark green Conifer that grows into wild, twisting shapes with fine-textured whorls of long, slender needles!
Growing native along the coastlines of Alaska and south into Northern California, not minding the salty air. Imagine what they'll look like in a Midwestern yard with its constant windy conditions! Or planted lakeside, or along the Coast, or even along a busy street. This is a tough, widely adaptable tree that can handle salt spray, earning it the common name - the Beach Pine!
If you aren't buffeted by high winds every day, the tree will develop into a broad rounded canopy, but will still have a contorted trunk, earning it the name Twisted Pine. People have used Shore Pines for generations to produce miniature Bonsai trees because of their divine visual interest.
Incredibly hardy throughout USDA growing zones 2 to 7, the Shore Pine is amazingly cold-hardy and rugged! Wildlife and songbirds love taking shelter in the broad limbs and foraging for seeds in the elongated pine cones that appear in the fall.
Planting and Application:
Plant this as a single specimen as an evergreen shade tree, or plant a row of them as a natural, dense windbreak or screen. You will really love the soft needles and the amazingly fresh scent of real pine! Each one will be unique, a standout in its own right!
Slow the prevailing winds to slow drifting snow and wind erosion with a stand of these hardy native Evergreens. Create shade year-round as well as privacy without the hassle of a fussy tree. Shore Pines are no divas but stand out nonetheless! You will love the year-round dark green hue when including Shore Pines into mixed screening borders, and luxurious shelterbelts for birds and wildlife.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Handling drought, poor soil, cold, and neglect, about the only thing that will set the Shore Pine back is too much shade or soggy soil! This variety of Pine needs full sun to perform at its best. If you need to encourage a denser canopy or want to reduce size, candle pruning in the spring is the best method.
You may notice Pines developing some yellow interior needles that will drop in the fall. This is completely normal as the tree will regrow new fresh growth. Keep this free Pine Straw under your tree for a layer of protection from cold and moisture loss, or rake it up to use elsewhere in your garden!
