Bosnian Sunshine - Bosnian Pine

Bosnian pine is a slow-growing evergreen conifer with a pyramidal outline and dense dark-green needles. Give it open space where its year-round form can be appreciated. ## Landscape Use Use this evergreen pine as an ornamental focal tree where its full pyramidal outline can develop. The Oregon State profile describes the species as a substantial tree, with potential height near 70 feet, and notes the dark green needles and scaly bark. [Oregon State Landscape Plants](https://landscapeplants.oregonstate.edu/plants/pinus-heldreichii) ## Growing Conditions Choose a sunny position. Oregon State gives USDA Zone 6 for Pinus heldreichii and lists Pinus leucodermis among its synonyms; Kew accepts Pinus heldreichii in Pinaceae. Its evergreen needles and textured bark keep the tree visually present through winter.

Check clearance from paths and nearby structures as the tree grows.
