Soft, narrow, pointed, needle like leaves on graceful arching branches characterize this tree. New foliage is light green, changing to bright green. Fern Pine can be used as an individual specimen, screen, tree or shrub. Very few pests and litter so it is used as a street tree. It can slowly reach 60' tall and 40' wide. In hot inland areas, this tree needs regular watering but will tolerate drought conditions. It can be planted in full or partial sun or shade.

Soils and Compost:
Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.
Water Saving Tip:
Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.
Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
Integrated Pest Management:
Develop healthy soil for plants that are vigorous and naturally pest-resistant.
