Pinus nigra Black Prince

Pinus nigra ‘Black Prince’ is a striking dwarf Austrian pine prized for its exceptionally dark green needles and compact, rounded habit. This slow-growing selection forms a dense, mounded shape with short, stiff foliage that maintains its deep, rich color throughout the year, creating strong contrast against lighter evergreens. Typically reaching 3–4 feet tall and wide, ‘Black Prince’ performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and is highly tolerant of cold, wind, and challenging sites once established. Its bold foliage color, clean form, and durability make it an excellent choice for specimen planting and landscapes seeking a pine with dramatic evergreen presence.
