The Fastigiata Austrian Pine is a moderately sized, fast-growing cultivar characterized by its narrow, upright, columnar form. It generally reaches heights of 30 to 40 feet while maintaining a width of about 10 feet, though it can occasionally grow up to 70 feet tall. Its distinctive fastigiate branching means all branches grow upward, creating a slender profile that broadens slightly as the tree matures. The bluish-green needles appear in bundles of five, and its light brown cones provide an appealing food source for birds.
