FamilyPinaceae
TypeTREE
Botanical namePinus nigra Komet

Pinus nigra 'Komet' is a compact and narrow selection of the Austrian black pine, valued for its very dense pyramidal habit and stiff dark green foliage, forming a neat and regular silhouette from a young age. Ideal for small spaces, structured hedges, or formal plantings, this cultivar stands out for its moderate growth, excellent tolerance to urban conditions, and great hardiness. The long needles, grouped in twos, create a uniform texture that persists all year round. Very resistant to wind, drought, and pollution, 'Komet' prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure. It combines structure, resilience, and formal aesthetics, perfect for durable and understated landscaping.
