Plant Description

Pinus monticola, the western white pine, is a majestic evergreen native to the mountains of western North America. This impressive pine features bluish-green needles in bundles of five and long, slender cones. Pinus monticola thrives in cool, moist climates within its range and prefers well-drained soil with good moisture retention. While the species can reach towering heights, cultivars like Pinus monticola 'Ammerland' offer a smaller, more compact form for gardens. Pinus monticola 'Pendula', with its weeping branches, adds a touch of elegance to landscapes. Whether admired for its stately beauty in the wild or cultivated for its ornamental value, Pinus monticola remains a beloved and important tree species.
