Description

The Pinus coulteri is a tree used mainly for reforestation. However, the symmetrical, open shape of this tree with lower branches that persist and spread widely make it an excellent choice for gardens with plenty of space. Pines are highly combustible plants.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
