Introducing the Coulter Pine, also known as the Big-Cone Pine, a majestic pine tree native to Southern California and Northern Baja California (Mexico). This tree produces the heaviest cone of any pine species in the world. With its substantial size, ranging from 30-80 ft tall, and a trunk diameter up to 3 ft thick, this tree is perfect for those who admire a natural and organic feel to their outdoor decor. The Coulter Pine is an ornamental tree popularly used in parks and large gardens due to its drought tolerance. No chemicals or preservatives have been applied to our Coulter Pine, ensuring its purity and natural essence. With its easy-to-work-with properties, this tree's wood has been used for firewood and bird feeders. However, beware - Coulter Pine cones can be deadly if they fall on your head! Known as "widow-makers," it is advisable to wear a hard hat in Coulter Pine forests. Purchase naturally-imperfect Coulter Pine cones, beautifully crafted by nature, and made in the USA.
