Austrian Pine 'Marie Bregeon'

A modern and highly desirable dwarf pine that forms a naturally perfect, dense ball of long, bright green needles. Unlike many other pines that require pruning to stay tidy, 'Marie Bregeon' maintains its neat, rounded habit grows very slowly, making it an excellent choice for contemporary UK gardens, balcony pots, or small rockeries. It is incredibly tough, inheriting the resilience of the Austrian Pine; it is wind-hardy, salt-tolerant, and handles urban pollution with ease. It performs best in a sunny spot with well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Its texture is soft yet structural, providing a year-round spherical accent that works well in pairs flanking a doorway or as part of a low-maintenance minimalist border. It rarely produces cones and is primarily grown for its consistent shape and vibrant green colour that doesn't fade in winter. It is a reliable, high-performance conifer for both novice and experienced gardeners.
