Edited: Mostly shade might be a deal breaker though.

Austrian PinePinus nigra
It has been called the toughest of all European pines and, we would add, the hardest working. Well-known horticulturalist, Dr. Carl Whitcomb, said the tree "rivals all pines in durability under adverse conditions." Nowhere has this been put more to the test than in the windbreaks of America.




The austrian pine can be expected to grow in Hardiness Zones 4–7.
