    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Beautiful, massive native tree, these from plants that grow in the Willamette Valley. Needles are up to 10" long. Bark is very dark brown when young, maturing to a yellow-red-brown, becoming very thick and furrowed, breaking up into "jigsaw puzzle" like pieces. Eventually reaches 175' but not quickly. Adapted to full sun, well-drained soil and little or no summer water once established. Frost hardy to -40 °F, USDA zone 3.
