Austrian Pine

About this plant

Pinus Nigra 'Oregon Green' is a distinguished selection of Austrian Pine, celebrated for its exceptionally long, dark green needles that create a rich, luxurious texture. Its strong, upward-sweeping branches build a stately pyramidal silhouette that becomes more broadly conical with age, providing a commanding presence in any landscape. This cultivar is particularly valued for its improved resistance to common pine ailments compared to typical Austrian Pines, making it a more reliable and low-maintenance choice for the discerning gardener. Its adaptable nature and tolerance for various conditions ensure its success in a wide range of settings. 'Oregon Green' is an ideal specimen tree for large properties, golf courses, or as a magnificent focal point in a mixed border, offering enduring beauty and classic coniferous charm throughout all seasons.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Requires minimal pruning, primarily for shaping or removing any dead or damaged branches. Fertilize in spring with a balanced evergreen fertilizer. Maintain good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal issues.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
