Pine, Austrian

(Pinus nigra) 

The best pine for recently-constructed homes given its tenacity: it easily withstands compacted soils and open, windswept conditions...features stiff needles and an overall formal appearance in youth but with time it builds character (see pic immediately above)...features bark that is considered one of the handsomest of all pines (see picture at top above)...smaller cones are between two and three inches long...reaches 50 ft. tall and 30 ft. wide at a rate between 12 and 18 inches annually.

Spruce, Black Hills

(Picea glauca densata)

An offshoot of our native white spruce but acclimated to harsher, dryer and more exposed growing conditions...as such, it's a great choice for recently developed subdivisions...greater branch density (see above) than most evergreens suggtest a more formal character...cones are much smaller than other spruces, reaching only one to two inches long...known to be slower growing than Norway spruce, they reach 30 ft. tall and 15 ft. wide in most landscape settings.
