Austrian Pine Tree

The Austrian Pine grows 40–60 feet tall and 15–25 feet wide at maturity, developing a broad, irregular crown over time.

This is a fast-growing evergreen, adding 12–24 inches per year under optimal conditions.

Plant in a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Austrian Pines are ideal for windbreaks, privacy screens, or large open spaces where their size and strength can shine.

Austrian Pines are low-maintenance once established. Here's how to care for the Austrian Pine:
• Watering: Water deeply 1–2 times per week during the first year. After that, only during long dry spells.
• Sunlight: Full sun is essential for dense growth.
• Soil: Tolerates a wide range of soils, including sandy or clay, as long as it drains well.
• Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release evergreen fertilizer in early spring if needed.
• Pruning: Minimal pruning required—remove dead or damaged limbs in late winter.
• Mulching: Add mulch around the base to conserve moisture and protect roots.

Plant in early spring or fall, when cooler temperatures and natural rainfall help roots establish before extreme weather sets in.

Yes, this is an evergreen conifer, meaning it retains its dark-green needles year-round, providing constant privacy and structure.

Once established, the Austrian Pine is very drought-tolerant and well-suited to dry or windy climates. However, regular watering is needed during its first growing season.

No regular pruning is needed. You can prune in late winter or early spring to remove lower limbs or any dead/damaged branches as needed.

Yes, Austrian Pines are generally deer-resistant, thanks to their long, tough needles and strong aroma. However, no plant is completely deer-proof if food is scarce.

Absolutely. Its dense, fast-growing foliage and tolerance to harsh conditions make it an excellent tree for windbreaks, sound barriers, and large privacy screens.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
