Torrey Pine |
Description
This broad evergreen can reach a height of 60' if it grows straight. Better growth results from life on the coast, from which the sea winds promote a broad, open, irregular habit. While tolerant of both heat and drought, the tree does better with moisture and slight exposure to fog. Seeds are edible. Cones take about 3 years to develop but will then be persistent on this conifer.

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.
