Lacebark Pine
Fantastic multi-colored bark and a vase-shaped habit lend this elegant tree true distinction in the landscape. The lacebark pine, a native of China, is a hardy, slow-growing multi-trunked species prized mainly for its platy but smooth ornamental bark, which is mottled with irregular patches of red-brown, cream, light green and gray-green that make harmonious, almost artistic compositions. The needles are yellow-green, of medium length, and borne in clusters of three. Its redbrown cones are small, squat and attractive to wildlife.
This species excels in full sun and fertile soil with good drainage. It is ideally used as a specimen tree in the landscape.
