Value to wildlife Plantations offer shelter to birds, deer and small mammals. Road crews apply sodium chloride and other deicing materials to keep roads clear in the winter. Many plants, especially eastern white pine, are sensitive to salt spray from roadways. Acute damage caused by direct salt exposure is easy to spot since the damage is usually greatest on the side of the trees facing the road.
Another culprit is winter injury. Many conifers are subject to needle drying of winter burn during the winter. The most common symptom of winter burn is brown or red foliage on the exposed often south side of the tree.
In some cases, trees will have a snowline below which no damage occurs since those needles were under snow when the rest of the tree was drying. Winter burn occurs frequently on dwarf Alberta spruce but can occur on other conifers as well.
Austrian pine is commonly affected by Dothistroma needle blight. The foliage of the lower half of the tree turns brown in March to April. Dothistroma needle blight is caused by the fungus Mycosphaerella pini.
This common pine pathogen kills needles of all ages and can weaken or kill Austrian pine trees. Characteristic symptoms of Dothistroma infection is the presence of needles showing browning at the tip of the needle while the base of the needle remains green. The black fruiting bodies of the fungus can be seen in the dead spots or bands on the needles. Dothistroma spores spread by wind and rain and can infect needles throughout the growing season. New needles are susceptible once they emerge from the needle sheaths.
Here is a list of our most popular Canadian cities:. Austrian Pine. Pinus sylvestris. Pinus nigra. Zone: 2a. Zone: 4a. Height: 15 m 49 ft. Height: 25 m 82 ft. Spread: 5 m 16 ft. Spread: 9 m 30 ft. Moisture: dry, normal. Light: full sun. Bark: thick, dark grey-brown scales at the base, and thin, flaky orange scales in the upper portion of the tree. Its greatest asset is winter protection. Many kinds of wildlife find cover in Austrian pine branches. Christmas Trees - Austrian pine may be used to produce Christmas trees.
It provides some variety to the more popular Scotch pine and is more drought tolerant, but it tends to develop slower than Scotch pine. Typically Austrian pine is 8 to 10 feet tall before filling in to form a satisfactory Christmas tree. Adaptation and Soil Austrian pine had adapted statewide and grows best in deep, moist and well-drained soils, but it will grow on a wide variety of soils. Of the pines it is second only to ponderosa in drought tolerance and will grow successfully in fairly heavy clay.
Spacing Austrian pines are spaced 8 to 12 feet within a row and 12 to 18 feet between rows. Large, fast growing deciduous trees should be spaced far enough 20 to 24 feet between rows to prevent shading pines.
