Pinus torreyana |

Pine, Torrey |
Description
This broad evergreen can reach a height of 80' 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. This plant is fire-prone! Please use caution when planting near your home.
This plant is on the City of Ashland’s Prohibited Plant List and should only be planted if it is at least 30 feet away from any structure. Prohibited Flammable Plants List Questions? Contact Firewise staff at 541-482-2770.
