Common Asked Questions
Do I need to prune Pencil Pines? Italian Pencil Pines don't require any pruning, they will grow naturally in an upright, slender form. Their shape is best created when left alone to form naturally.
How far apart should I plant Pencil Pines? This all depends on the look you are trying to achieve. Many people create screening with Pencil Pines and choose to plant approx. 1 meter apart. For a more spaced-out effect, 1.5-2m apart creates a lovely look.
What style of garden do Pencil Pines suit? Pencil Pines work in both Provincial and Mediterranean gardens. However, because of their deep foliage and slender form, they also work well in Contemporary garden designs. Pencil pines are suitable to large planter pots and look striking in large oak wine barrels. Allow adequate room for growth and keep an eye on moisture levels, as pots in planters dry out quicker than they would if planted in the ground.
