A cousin to P. edulis, Singleleaf Pinyon is a slow-growing pine with grey-green needles and edible nuts, though it takes twenty years for it to reach bearing age. Very slow-growing. Would make an interesting bonsai in the landscape, or maybe with alpine plants for a little miniture mountain-scape. Difficult to find in the trade due to it's slow growth habit, it is mostly available through restoration growers. In its natural stting, it may reach 40 to 50 feet tall, but it is unlikely to do so in an urban landscape. Did we mention it was slow growing?
Grow in full sun in well-drained soils. Gravelly, sanydy-loam, or clay-loam. Very drought tolerant once established.
