Have been growing a pinus edulis in desert bed here in Western Arkansas for a few years now, has handled the humidity and constant winter rain perfectly, grows slowly but beautiful at any age.

The pinon pine ( pronounced pinyon pine) is the state tree of New Mexico. When burned in the fireplace, the smoke has a sweet perfumy fragrance that is unforgetable. It is a small slow-growing tree (15 to 30 ft, at maturity). Currently pinon trees in the Southwest are very much endangered by the current harsh drought there. The drought makes them suceptible to borers and huge numbers have died in the past two or three years. It is important for humans to protect pinons as much as possible while this drought is threatening them.
