FRENCH BLUE SCOTS PINE  Pinus sylvestris ‘French Blue’
• A striking selection of Scots Pine distinguished by its intense steel‑blue to silvery‑blue needles, offering bold year‑round colour and strong architectural presence in prairie landscapes.
• Exhibits a sturdy, upright habit with a broad, rounded crown as it matures; bark develops attractive orange‑brown plates that provide additional winter interest.
• Needles are slightly twisted and held in pairs, giving the tree a textured, windswept appearance that pairs beautifully with xeric or naturalistic plantings.
• Highly adaptable and resilient, thriving in poor, sandy, rocky, or alkaline soils; excellent drought tolerance once established makes it ideal for low‑water sites.
• A dependable, long‑lived evergreen suitable for shelterbelts, acreage plantings, or as a standout specimen where year‑round colour is desired.
• Full Sun
• Zone 3, 10–15 m Height × 6–8 m Width
