Pinus strobiformis

Southwestern White Pine

Southwestern White Pine (Pinus strobiformis) is a tall evergreen with soft, blue-green needles in bundles of five. Its long branches spread outward or hang slightly, forming an open, irregular crown.

Large cones and rough, furrowed bark add character as the tree develops. It needs a spacious permanent position.

Plant in sun; growth is strongest on cool, moist sites with deep soil.
