Korean pine
Pinus koraiensis
Overview
The Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) is a species of conifer native to northeastern Asia. It grows to a height of 60 feet and produces a stately evergreen with pendulous branches and underlying blue-green foliage. Its cones are small, 10-15 cm in length, and its light yellow-brown bark is highly resistant to disease. The Korean pine's lovely conical shape and soft needles make it a popular species for cultivation in parks and gardens. It tolerates cold temperatures and is tolerant of air pollution and drought. Its dense foliage makes it an effective wind break and its striking form provides winter interest in the garden.
