Pinus cembra aka Arolla Pine

Pinus cembra, also known as Swiss pine, Swiss stone pine, Austrian stone pine, or Arolla pine, is a slow-growing, columnar evergreen with upward-turning branches. It has a narrow, pyramidal habit, making it ideal for small landscape settings. This species of pine tree is part of the subgenus Strobus and is native to the mountainous regions of Central Europe. Swiss Pine is exceptionally tolerant of winter winds and cold and prefers climates with cool summers. The evergreen foliage provides year-round color, and pine cones add seasonal interest. Swiss Pine is a super rare houseplant that is easy to grow and needs regular watering to thrive. It does best in long-lasting, direct light and should be placed less than 1 foot from a window. The plant prefers soil that is well-draining and should be repotted each time it doubles in size. As a member of the Pinus genus, Swiss Pine is native to Central Europe. Fertilizers are usually unnecessary for this plant when repotting.
