Pinus strobus 'Fastigiata,' also called fastigiate white pine, is a cultivar of eastern white pine noted for its 'fastigiate' growth habit in which branch spread is very narrow and growth tends to be upward, parallel to the main trunk rather than spread out in a more typical pyramidal or rounded habit. Most often growing to 30-40' tall, though occasionally taller, Pinus strobus 'Fastigiata' maintains a narrow spread of only 10-15' for its entire lifespan, making it an excellent choice for large border plantings and windscreens, or as a specimen tree.

The needles of Pinus strobus tend to be fine and rather long, and though evergreen, shed needles will add a splash of bronzey tones to the nearby landscape. 'Fastigiata' grows best in acidic, well-drained soils with moderate moisture, and produces its best foliage and appearance when grown in full sun. Care should be taken when choosing a potential planting location for Pinus strobus 'Fastigiata,' taking into account both the tree's mature size as well as its intolerance of compacted clay soils or soils with high pH. White pine cones produce seed that are an excellent food source for birds and small mammals, and evergreen needles provide an elegant, formal appearance all year round.

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
