Description

The Chir Pine grows at a moderate to fast rate to 60'-80' tall. 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.

Water Saving Tip:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
