The airy, drooping bluish green needles of this pine are held in bundles of five. The needles shimmer in the slightest breeze. In spring, trees produce tiny male cones and long curving female cones near the branch tips. The solitary or clustered female cones are green and erect when young and pale brown and pendent at maturity. They are often frosted with resin. Conical and low-branched when young, this relatively fast-growing pine assumes a broad conical habit with age, retaining its lower branches when given adequate space. Its gray-brown bark becomes fissured and platy on older stems. This beautiful pine favors full sun and well-drained, humus-rich soil. It dislikes excessive heat, cold, or wind. Its makes a striking specimen for parks and other large properties. Several cultivars are available, including variegated and cold-hardy selections. Information source: www.learn2grow.com.
