The narrow growth habit makes it suitable for landscapes where space is a concern, or planted in a row to create screening for privacy. It should be tied to prevent damage in heavy snow load climates. This pine is highly tolerant of urban pollution and should thrive in inner city environments.
To improve looks and airflow, these plants would benefit from periodic 'combing' (use your fingers) to remove dead material.
"The term 'Scotch' pine is incorrect and should not be used, as these trees are not a source of that celebrated intoxicant."--The Gymnosperm Database.
