Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The source of the delicious 'pignolis' (edible pine nuts)! This charming, picturesque, slow-growing 40-60' tree is shrubby in youth before maturing into a gorgeous broad and flat-topped pine with dense umbrella-like branches. The beautiful, silvery juvenile foliage gives way to bright-green, long (5-8") needles in bundles of two. Though many pines have edible nuts, these are considered to be the best flavor and quality; seedlings of this species are often sold as miniature Christmas trees. S/M-D

A large growing Italian Stone Pine, it has long, dark green needles on a good looking large tree. A rounded form when young, it is more of an umbrella shape as it matures.
