Sugar Pine Seeds – 120 Count | Pinus lambertiana | King of Pines | Giant Cone Evergreen

Grow a true forest legend with this 120-seed pack of Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana), famously known as the King of Pines. This iconic western conifer is prized for producing the longest pine cones of any pine species—often reaching an incredible 12 to 22 inches in length.

Native to the mountains of California and Oregon, Sugar Pine is one of the tallest and most majestic pines in North America, commonly reaching 175–200 feet at maturity. Young trees begin with a narrow, upright form before developing long, sweeping branches that elegantly support their enormous hanging cones. Its soft blue-green needles grow in bundles of five and create a classic fragrant evergreen presence in the landscape.

This larger 120-seed quantity is ideal for reforestation projects, large properties, collectors of rare conifers, or growers wanting multiple specimens for long-term planting.
