| Posted by ILPARW (southeast Pennsylvania - Zone 6b) on Dec 29, 2020 4:17 PM This hard pine is very similar to the Ponderosa Pine. It bears thick, rigid, dark green, finely serrated margin needles about 5 to 9 inches long in fascicles of 3, 4, and 5, with 5 as the most common. Its seed cones are 2.5 to 4 inches long, ovoid to conical with slender prickles on the scales. It is native to the mountains of northern Mexico, southeast Arizona, southwest New Mexico, and western Texas. [ Reply to this comment | |
