Pine trees are superb trees which grow in a wide climate scale - from cold northern countries to hot coastal sites. They are probably most beautiful in their natural environment.
The Himalayan pine has extraordinary, upto 20 cm long needles (in bundles of 5), silvery blue colour, young needles are erect but as they mature they droop creating a pendulous effect. A magnificent specimen tree to draw passers-by’s attention. Will thrive in any semi-moist soil, always well-drained.
