Product Overview
Hardiness zones 7-9
In poor soil disdained by other pines, this adaptable 30-60' tree happily forms an open, irregular crown made of deep-green 4-5" needles. Its distinctive cones need fire to open, without fire they stay clustered on the branches for up to 25 years! Staying on the tree so long they actually become embedded in the bark making this tree known as the 'pine-that-swallows its-cones'. A wonderfully distinct pine which features outstanding red-brown scaly bark on mature specimens. This pine is native from Baja, California to southern Oregon with the greatest concentrations on the California-Oregon border. S/D
