Pine trees are superb trees which grow in a wide climate scale - from cold northern countries to hot coastal sites. They are probably most beautiful in their natural environment.
Satellit is a narrowly columnar variety of Bosnian pine. Thanks to slow growth and limited size it is suitable for small gardens. In 10 years it can make about 3m in height and about half a meter wide.
Needles are borne in two’s, they are deep green, glossy and hard, always vertical. Bark is very light, almost white. It needs a lot of sunlight and permeable soil, which can be sandy, it can even be poor and dry when established. Fully hardy to -27°C (USDA zone 5b).
