Pinus uncinata Braska #3

Pinus uncinata ‘Braska #3’ is a selected form of mountain pine originating from high-elevation European seed sources, chosen for its compact growth and strong cold tolerance. Reflecting the species’ alpine heritage, this cultivar forms a dense, upright to irregular habit with short, blue-green needles. Its restrained size and rugged adaptability make it well suited to challenging sites. It performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and grows slowly to moderately. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–7, it is valued in rock gardens, exposed sites, and collector conifer plantings.
