Slash Pine var. densa (Pinus elliottii var. densa)
Full sun
Low to average water needs
Bloom time: Winter and Spring
Size: 75 ft tall x 35-50 ft wide
Cones are a great source of food for wildlife. Once established, they have a higher tolerance for both drought and flood than most pine varieties. They require full sun and can thrive in nutritionally sparse soils. Densa Pines are often planted in groupings to give the landscape a natural feel. Naturally found in South Florida. Needles usually in fascicles of 2.
