Pinus Nigra Obelisk Black Pine

Pinus nigra 'Obelisk', commonly referred to as Black Pine, is a striking cultivar known for its slender, columnar growth habit and distinctive dark green foliage. This evergreen conifer boasts a narrow, upright form that makes it an ideal choice for vertical accents in landscapes or as a privacy screen. The needles of 'Obelisk' are glossy and needle-like, creating a dense canopy that remains lush throughout the year. Its bark starts off smooth and dark brown, developing a rough texture with age, adding to its rugged charm. 'Obelisk' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is noted for its tolerance to urban conditions and drought once established. With its elegant form and adaptability, this cultivar is a favored choice for adding height and structure to garden designs, especially where space is limited.
