Italian Stone Pine (Pinus pinea)

Italian Stone Pine (Pinus pinea) likes the stability of well-draining sandy soil in full sun. Keep his roots watered the first year to establish him, and he will give you ages of breathtaking views of his beautiful branching form. He likes mild weather in planting zones 11-12 with low humidity. He’ll be a picture-perfect specimen, so get your cameras ready. This conifer will remind you of your favorite times in the Mediterranean landscape. Enjoy harvesting the pine nuts he throws your way too! Grows 40-60 ft. tall, 20-40 ft. wide but is a slow grower.
