Sugar Pine – Pinus lambertiana Seeds | 60 Seeds | King of Pines | Giant Pine Cones | Fragrant Evergreen Tree

Grow one of the most magnificent forest giants with this 60-seed pack of Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana), famously known as the “King of Pines.” Celebrated for producing the largest pine cones of any California pine—an impressive 12 to 22 inches long—this majestic evergreen adds grandeur and beauty to large landscapes.

Native to the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountains, Sugar Pine can reach 175–200 feet tall at maturity and live for hundreds of years. Young trees grow upright and narrow before developing long, sweeping horizontal branches that gracefully display their massive pendulous cones. Its soft blue-green needles grow in bundles of five and release a fresh, fragrant evergreen scent.

Ideal as a specimen tree, shade tree, reforestation species, bonsai subject, or Christmas tree, Sugar Pine is a striking and long-lived addition to parks, estates, and naturalized settings.
