Also known as Chir or Imodi pine. Beautiful lacy needles, a buttressed trunk and red-brown thick, fissured bark make this fast growing pine a great ornamental. Productive of tasty edible pine nuts. Also tapped for resin and harvested for timber in it's native range. Grows 60 to 80 feet tall and is hardy down to about 10 degrees F.
