Pinus wallichiana
Himalayan White Pine, Bhutan Pine, Himalayan 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. |
Its neat form and blue-green color make it a good tree to feature in a big lawn or garden. Slender, 6 to 8-inch-long, pendulous, needlelike leaves give a soft effect. Cold tolerant, it does poorly in hot, dry areas.
