Pinus eldarica (Afghan Pine)

Pinus eldarica
Afghan Pine

A hardy and fast-growing evergreen conifer, Pinus eldarica, commonly known as Afghan Pine, is prized for its dense, pyramidal form and adaptability to hot, arid climates. Its long, dark green needles and tolerance for poor soils make it an excellent choice for windbreaks, privacy screens, or as a specimen tree in low-water landscapes. Native to Central Asia, this pine thrives in challenging conditions and brings year-round greenery to the landscape.
