Pinus patula
Patula Pine, Mexican Weeping Pine, Jelecote Pine
| The many forms and types of pines can be found in northern temperate zones and on mountains in the tropics. Some grow rapidly, others slowly. Some have silvery foliage, others are dark green. They range from dwarfs to 100-foot-tall trees. The size and form of their cones vary. All pines have long needlelike leaves grouped in clusters of 2 to 5. They are fairly drought-tolerant, with a few exceptions. Extended drought or pollution can weaken pines, making them susceptible to pests and diseases. They grow well in full sun and poor, but well-drained soils. Shape tree in spring. Too much water produces yellow needles. |
Needles droop gracefully from the widely-spaced tiers of branches. One of the fastest-growing Pines. Resistant to oak root fungus.
