Pinus engelmannii (Apache Pine)

Pinus engelmannii (Apache Pine) is native to Northern Mexico. This pine grows to a height of (66–98 ft) and has a trunk diameter of. The tree has a unique look due to its sparse and stout branches. The needles are in bundles of three (sometimes five), long, thick, and spreading to slightly drooping, and are among the longest of any pine. Long, green or purple when young, the cones mature to a glossy brown, somewhat oblique shape with stoutly spined scales on the outside (facing away from the branch). Like the related Michoacan pine and also longleaf pine, the Apache pine can go through a grass stage.
