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.
