Jelecote or Mexican Pine |
The Pinus patula is fast-growing to a height of 60'-80' tall. It has a symmetrical pyramid with widely spaced branch tiers. The long, shiny green needles cluster in 3's, and are 12" in length. It prefers full sun and well draining soil. Light brown cones appear in fall and winter. Too much water turns needles yellow.
