The Black Pine makes an impressive and long-lived specimen tree for large gardens, particularly in difficult exposed conditions. It forms a denser canopy than the Scots Pine, developing a pyramidal crown that becomes broader and more irregular with maturity. The stiff, dark green needles are around 10-15cm long and grow in pairs. Grey to yellow-brown bark develops deep vertical fissures with age, breaking up into scaly plates. It carries handsome cones around 5-8cm long that are green when young, maturing to brown.

Pinus nigra is an extremely hardy tree, tolerating sea winds, pollution, drought and exposure once well established. This adaptable and resilient tree will grow in almost any conditions, including chalk, provided it gets full sun and the ground never becomes waterlogged. Pinus nigra makes a superb choice for coastal gardens and as a shelterbelt tree. Mature height: over 20m (66ft). Spread: over 6m (20ft).

Grow Pines in any well-drained soil in full sun. Most Pines will tolerate dry conditions and exposed locations once established. Alternatively grow smaller species in large containers, using a good soil-based compost mix.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.
