Description
This fine-textured pine is handsome in both form and color. The needles grow in groups of five, and the cones are slender and often have a curved shape. It is quite an ornamental tree, especially the young trees, whose bark is smooth and gray. Pines are highly combustible plants. 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.
