Family Pinaceae

Pinus sylvestris 'Bonna', known as 'Bonna' Scots Pine, is a compact ornamental conifer cherished for its dense and regular habit, as well as its decorative bluish-green foliage throughout the year. This selection forms a small tree or a large conical to pyramidal shrub, bringing structure and verticality to landscape designs. Its slightly bluish needles create a fine and elegant texture that contrasts well with the broader foliage of surrounding shrubs. Over time, the plant develops a well-balanced silhouette, making it an excellent choice for conifer beds, rock gardens, or small gardens requiring persistent structure. Very hardy and undemanding, this pine tolerates poor, well-drained soils and cold climates, while preferring sunny locations.
