Austrian Pine (Pinus nigra)
Location: Harvard Yard
This pine tree was approx 60 feet in height. This tree grows quick, but requires full sunlight. Due to one side being shaded by an adjacent building, most of the branches grew in the direction out towards the sun. This is an interesting characteristic I also saw in the pines at the Harvard Forest. This tree grows fine in most soil types, meaning it adapts well in urban environments.
