Description

Description: A slow-growing tree the Lacebark Pine typically reaches 30-50 feet tall in as many years, and spread 20-35 feet. They grow best in moist well-drained soil, both acidic and alkaline, but have no tolerance for salt. Multi-stemmed its broad pyramidal form is best suited to large properties that have space to accommodate it.

 

Winter Characteristics:  Smooth patterned bark reminiscent of army camouflage shows clearly through long fine needles that on less dense individuals can appear almost as a green haze.
