The
Ponderosa Pine is the most frequently planted of the large, long-needled
native pines. The dark green needles, 6-10 inches long, are arranged
in bundles of three. Cones are 3 to 5 inches long. Sometimes called
Western Yellow Pine or Bull Pine. Its soft needles are 2 or 3 in
a bundle and 5-11" long. Thrives in full sun and poor soil.
One of the tallest and most important timber pines in the western
states.
