Pinus nigra subsp. laricio – Corsican pine

View prices and availability
This Pinus only differs in detail from P. nigra subsp. nigra, also forming a very large impressive tree with a striking bark. When young the tree is pyramidal although it has broader and round to almost umbel-shaped crown when mature. The bark is a lighter grey than P. nigra subsp. nigra and the bark plates are larger. It is deeply grooved and very decorative, especially on older trees. The twigs are orange-brown. The needles are lighter green and distinctly less stiff than on P. nigra subsp. nigra. The light brown, pendent cones hang in pairs or single. The tree is suitable for many types of soil and also grows on limy soil. Tolerates sea wind and is not sensitive to air pollution.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
