Swiss Stone Pine

Swiss Stone Pine

Pinus cembra - #29

Native to the mountains of Europe and parts of Asia, this hardy evergreen with narrow, dense pyramidal form, can grow to 25 – 35 feet tall and 10 – 20 feet wide.

Cornelia had planted red pines here in the 1930’s as a backdrop to the amphitheater, but most of those succumbed to disease and were overgrown; the Forest Service replaced them with this more disease-resistant species.
