Discover the unique allure of Pinus radiata var. binata, commonly known as Guadalupe Island Pine, renowned for its impressive stature and adaptability. This fast-growing conifer can soar to heights of 50-100 feet, with a trunk diameter ranging from 24-35 inches. Its trunk may vary from contorted to straight, crowned with a broad conical top, which becomes rounded or flattened as it matures. The tree's gray to reddish-brown bark is deeply furrowed, enhancing its visual appeal. The needles, a striking deep yellow-green, grow in bundles of two or three, measuring 3.5-6 inches in length, and exhibit slightly twisted forms with serrulate margins. Its ovoid cones, 2.75-15 inches long, morph into a lustrous yellow-brown and can persist for decades, showcasing the tree's resilience. Native to Mexico's Guadalupe Island, this pine thrives in regions characterized by frequent fog and is hardy to USDA Zone 8. Its serotinous cones are designed to release seeds post-fire, ensuring regeneration. Widely planted in temperate California and similar climates worldwide, Guadalupe Island Pine is an ideal choice for gardens and landscapes, favored for its rapid growth and versatility.
