Pinus bungeana

Lacebark Pine

Lacebark pine (Pinus bungeana) develops its strongest character with age, when peeling bark reveals pale, patchwork markings. Green needles and a branching, often multiple-trunk framework make it a distinctive evergreen specimen.

Its structure combines several main stems and an oval crown. Growth is slow. The foliage supplies a year-round framework.

Choose a sunny, open site. Provide well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
