    Native to the US Southwest and northwest Mexico, single leaf pinyon is a mid-size tree, but very slow growing, reaching less than 15' in a human lifetime. Often used for bonsai. Single needles are gray-green to blue-green, up to 2.5" long and the cones, the largest in the pinyon group, can be 3.5 in long, eventually producing seeds that are edible but only after 20 years... Very soil tolerant with good drainage, and drought tolerant once established. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.
