  • Description

  • Notes

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.
Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole .Water lavishly. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 4' diameter circle. - Bert Wilson Las Pilitas
