Description
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.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
