Ponderosa Pine | Pinus ponderosa

Description

The ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) is one of the most common pines in North America. It is often used in large gardens because of its stature and ability to add some dazzling green color for winter interest, where snow is often forecast. Between its conical form, the beautiful three-needled branches, or its scaly cinnamon bark that exudes pine essence when crushed, this tree is the epitome of a pine tree as it exists in our collective imagination.
