Overview

The Jeffrey Pine (Pinus jeffreyii) stands as an imposing conifer, reaching heights of 120-180 ft with a trunk diameter of 4-6 ft. Its long, bluish-green needles, grouped in threes, exude a pleasant pineapple-like scent. Hardy in zones 5-8, it thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it ideal for spacious landscapes. Its thick, ridged bark and large, conical form provide striking year-round interest and a robust, rustic charm.
