Black Pine ‘Oregon Green’ 40/60cm (5L)

This attractive pine offers gardens constant appeal with its thick, dark green foliage. Black Pine Pinus nigra ‘Oregon Green’ develops into a tidy, conical form that provides structure and charm to outdoor spaces. The dark green needles appear in pairs and remain on the tree for multiple years, creating a dense, verdant look all year long. These needles are notably long and straight, giving this pine real visual impact.

Growing at a moderate rate, this pine reaches roughly 6 metres tall after 20 years, fitting well into most garden settings. The orderly, consistent growth habit means minimal pruning is required to keep its appealing form. During winter months, the rich green colour creates a striking contrast against frost or snow.

Black Pine ‘Oregon Green’ performs excellently as a feature tree or within mixed plantings. It pairs wonderfully with flowering shrubs or plants offering different leaf textures and colours. The manageable size ensures it suits smaller gardens whilst still delivering that valuable evergreen character throughout the year.

Black Pine ‘Oregon Green’ is quite easy to grow in British gardens. It thrives in full sun but will cope with partial shade, and adapts well to most soil types as long as they’re well-drained. Once established, it’s quite drought tolerant and doesn’t need much watering except during very dry spells. Plant in autumn or spring, and add some organic matter to the planting hole. No regular pruning is needed – just remove any dead or damaged branches if they appear. It’s generally pest-free and shows good resistance to our wet winters.
