Torrey Pine |
Information by: Jerry Sortomme Editor Photographer: Normans/George/Sortomme
Description
This broad evergreen can reach a height of 80' if it grows straight. Better growth results from life on the coast, from which the sea winds promote a broad, open, irregular habit.While tolerant of both heat and drought, the tree reacts best with moisture and slight exposure to fog. Pines are highly combustible plants.
