Coulter or Bigcone Pine |
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.
