Description
The Pinus radiata is an evergreen with an incredibly fast growth rate. It survives well in coastal areas and in well-drained soils. With age, the tree drops its lower branches, thus producing a rounded, flat crown.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.
Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
