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.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
