Description

The Chir PIne has a medium to fast-paced growth to a height of 60'-80'. It forms a slender pyramid that later develops into a round-topped tree (30'-40' wide) with a symmetrical head. The light green needles are 8"-13" long and are grouped in 3's. Its cones produce edible pine nuts. Pines are highly combustible plants.

Water Saving Tip:

In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.

Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
