Description

This fine-textured pine is handsome in both form and color. The needles grow in groups of five, and the cones are slender and often have a curved shape. It is quite an ornamental tree, especially the young trees, whose bark is smooth and grey.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
