Description

The Pinus coulteri is a tree used mainly for reforestation. However, the symmetrical, open shape of this tree with lower branches that persist and spread widely make it an excellent choice for gardens with plenty of space. It reaches 30'-80' tall. Large, heavy cones appear in fall.

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.
