Comments: Austrian Pine is a good screen planting as well as a specimen tree. This hardy tree has been widely planted along roadsides because it is tolerant of pollution. Lately, it has been affected by disease causing die back of branches and fatalities. It might be better to plant Pinus thunbergi/Japanese Black Pine in landscape applications which require a pollution tolerant evergreen tree.
