Sugar Pine – Pinus lambertiana Seeds | 5 Seeds | King of Pines | Giant Pine Cones | Fragrant Evergreen Conifer

Grow one of North America’s most majestic evergreens with Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana), famously known as the “King of Pines.” This 5-seed pack offers the opportunity to cultivate a towering, fragrant conifer admired for producing the largest pine cones of any California pine — reaching an incredible 12 to 22 inches long.

Native to the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountains, Sugar Pine is one of the tallest pine species in the world, capable of reaching 175–200 feet at maturity. In its early years, it grows narrow and upright before developing long, graceful horizontal branches adorned with pendulous cones. Its soft, blue-green needles grow in bundles of five and give off a pleasant evergreen fragrance.

Highly valued for ornamental landscapes, specimen planting, bonsai cultivation, and even Christmas tree production, Sugar Pine adds elegance and grandeur wherever it grows.
