aka Monterey Pine

Synonymous with NZ forestry and 'Pine Tree Meads' this easy to grow and tolerant Conifer is actually from California. Quickly forms a handsome symmetrical Christmas tree when young, with fresh green needles of foliage. Quite ornamental, but usually grown for timber. Hardy, evergreen.

Pinus radiata will tolerate poor soil, heat, wind, frost and drought but it does prefer good drainage to do well.
