17+ Oregon Green Pine. The oregon green austrian pine is a small tree that will grow steadily to around 10 feet tall in about as many years, and ultimately reach perhaps 20 feet. The unique, more open form with asymmetrical branching creates a striking landscape specimen.

The irregular habit of the branching and thick nature of this selection make it popular for bonsai and landscape use. It has a high extinction coefficient and fluorescence quantum yield and while it is ph insensitive in the physiological range, with a pka of 4.6 it can be used to monitor ph change in acidic organelles or pathways. Both will grace the landscape with the same long pine needles, but the slower growth rate and smaller overall size will allow them to fit in a tighter space. These stiff needles result in less needle drop in the summer.
