ADD

    Pinus canariensis is native to the Canary Islands in Spain. The plant has naturalized in South Africa and Australia. It is an evergreen, coniferous, needled tree. It is a subtropical pine and does not tolerate low temperatures or hard frost. In the United States it is suitable for zones 9 to 11.
    Canary Island Pine grows 70 to 80 feet tall with a 20 foot spread. The green to yellow-green leaves are needle-like, in bundles of three. The tree generally has a straight stem and a usually open crown of regular, candelabra-like upswept branches, narrowly conic when young, later widening to broad ovoid-conic, and becoming irregular and dense with age. The bark is very thick, scaly, fissured, patterned red-brown and buff. The cones are oval and about 6 inches in length. The seeds are shiny blackish brown above, matte grey below. This is one of the most drought and fire resistant pines in the world.
    The heart wood is aromatic and extremely strong. Over cutting has diminished the native range of this tree considerably.
