Soft, narrow, pointed, needle like leaves on graceful arching branches characterize this tree. New foliage is light green, changing to bright green. Fern Pine can be used as an individual specimen, screen, tree or shrub. Very few pests and litter so it is used as a street tree. It can slowly reach 60' tall and 40' wide. In hot inland areas, this tree needs regular watering but will tolerate drought conditions. It can be planted in full or partial sun or shade.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
