Description

Pinus flexilis is an evergreen tree. It grows 20'-30' tall in gardens at a slow to moderate pace. Its habit is dense and pyramidal when young, but changes to a flat-topped, broad crown when mature. Cones are 5" long, oval or cone shaped and brown in color. Needles about about 3" long, bluish green in color, slightly curved and cover the tree from tip to trunk. Pines are highly combustible plants.

Water Saving Tip:

Apply a layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.

Choose organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost or aged sawdust.
