Pinus nigra Marie Bregeon / 30-40 CM C12

Pinus nigra Marie Bregeon is a compact, slow-growing selection of black pine forming a dense, rounded mound of evergreen needles in rich green, offering year-round structure and texture. Best in full sun and in moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil, it is tolerant of alkaline (chalky) conditions and stands up well to exposure, making it a reliable choice for Irish gardens in open, breezy or coastal settings. Its neat habit suits small gardens, rockeries and evergreen accents where low maintenance and strong form are valued.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
