Pinus nigra ‘Ajandek’

A Polish cultivar that combines several desirable traits - it features soft, dark green needles that are not prickly like those of typical black pines and it shows excellent tolerance to adverse weather conditions. Its standout feature is its naturally globular habit, forming a regular, rounded shape without the need for pruning. When grafted onto a standard, it becomes a highly decorative specimen, ideal for both private gardens and public landscapes. Easy to grow, frost-hardy, and drought-tolerant, it reaches a diameter of approximately 120 cm after 10 years. Hardiness zone: 5a -29/-27 °C
