Discover the majestic Pinus densata, commonly known as Gaoshan Pine or Sikang Pine, a remarkable species native to the forested mountain slopes of southern Qinghai, western Sichuan, eastern Xizang, and northwest Yunnan, China. Thriving at altitudes between 8,500 and 13,700 ft, this hardy conifer reaches heights of up to 100 ft, with an erect and slender trunk measuring up to 4 ft in diameter. Its scaly bark transitions from reddish brown to greyish brown with age, developing thick, irregular plates adorned with longitudinal fissures.

Gaoshan Pine features a conical crown that broadens over time, supported by stout, shiny branchlets in hues of yellowish to reddish brown. The slightly resinous vegetative buds give rise to leaves in fascicles of two (occasionally three), persisting for three years. These straight, slightly twisted needles are triangular in cross-section, measuring 8–14 cm long. Adapted to USDA Hardiness Zone 7, this resilient pine showcases its charm with shiny chocolate-brown, ovoid cones that mature in about 18 months. Whether you're a botanist, gardener, or pine enthusiast, Gaoshan Pine promises a stunning addition to any landscape.
