  • Description

  • Notes

The Chir PIne has medium to fast-paced growth to a height of 60-80'. It forms a slender pyramid that later develops into a round-topped tree (30'40' wide) with a symmetrical head. The light green needles are 8-13" long and are grouped in 3's. Its cones produce edible pine nuts.
