Description
The Pinus radiata is an evergreen with an incredibly fast growth rate. It survives well in coastal areas and in well drained soils. With age, the tree drops its lower branches, thus producing a rounded, flat crown. This tree can reach 50'-100' tall and 3' wide. Pine needles are aromatic.
