This graceful tree is a tall and slender, two-needle, yellow pine, with very little taper and grows quickly to reach heights of 75.’

Native to the interior, this tree is found as far north as the Yukon, throughout the Rocky Mountains and west to the Cascades between USDA zones 5 - 10. In Oregon, this tree grows on recent volcanic deposits.

The yellow-green needles grow in pairs and are 1-3.”

They contrast well with the reddish brown bark.

Lodgepole Pine is a great tree for group plantings, but equally valuable as a bonsai specimen or ornamental.

Native Bands used the straight poles for their lodges, hence the name.
