This striking conifer, commonly called Ponderosa Pine, reaches 60-125 feet and serves as a majestic addition in spacious landscapes. Its towering form and resinous aroma make it ideal for natural or wild landscapes. Suggested uses include as a specimen tree or in windbreaks.
Pinus ponderosa thrives in well-drained, sandy or gravelly soils with moderate moisture, though it can handle some drought once established. Avoid planting in shade as it requires full sun for optimal growth.
