The Virginia Pine Tree is a stately pine with the good looks of a Christmas tree and minimal care requirements. Green needles are a few inches long and grow in clusters. The Pinus virginiana has a wide, open, pyramid-like form when young. The tree develops an open, flat-topped, horizontal form with age. Mature trees produce 1 to 3-inch-long cones. Cones take two years to grow and drop from the tree in the fall. This is a slow-growing tree, but it will stand 40 to 80 feet tall and 10 to 30 feet wide with time. The trunk can expand up to 14 inches in diameter at maturity.
Plant the Virginia Pine Tree as an ornamental specimen or to complement a woodland area. This evergreen provides consistent color and texture in a landscape. The tree is deer resistant, but the cones provide seeds for birds and other small animals. The Virginia Pine Tree is native to the eastern U.S. and thrives with little care once acclimated.
Virginia Pine Tree Care
The Virginia Pine is adaptable but thrives in full sun with well-drained, loamy, acidic soil. It tolerates poor soil and is useful for soil erosion control. Young trees need consistent water, while established trees only need water during a dry period. Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release formula to encourage new growth.
Prune the tree in later winter or early spring. Young trees can be pruned to have a classic Christmas tree shape. Trim the higher branches to maintain the pyramidal shape and expose the lower branches to more light.
Virginia Pine Tree Spacing
Plant Virginia Pine Trees 20 to 25 feet apart to create a stand. Leave 30 between the tree and a building or road. Choose a planting location free from overhead obstructions.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
