Pinus torreyana |
+ Add |
Torrey Pine, Island Torrey Pine |
Description
This broad evergreen can reach a height of 80' if it grows straight. Better growth results from life on the coast, from which the sea winds promote a broad, open, irregular habit. While tolerant of both heat and drought, the tree reacts best with moisture and slight exposure to fog.
