This selection of Scots pine grows in a tight, upright form. Its branches reach just shy of vertical, making it a perfect specimen for a narrow spot in a landscape that allows for full sun exposure. 'Fastigiata' has proven to be a fast grower, increasing by over a foot each year, and it matures at over ten feet. Its branches, covered handsomely in gray-blue needles, should be tied to prevent damage when heavy snow-loads are a threat. Zone 2 - 7
