Standing out in the landscape, Pinus flexilis (Limber Pine) is a medium-sized evergreen coniferous tree of pyramidal habit in youth, becoming more open, flat-topped and picturesque with age. It is often multi-stemmed with a straight to contorted trunk and forked, upswept branches. The slightly curved or twisted, rich blue-green needles, up to 3 in. long (7 cm), are presented in bundles of five and tend to be clustered at the tips of the branches, persisting for five to six years. The thick-scaled, egg-shaped seed cones, 8 in. long (20 cm), are bright green and upright in youth, turning yellow-brown and pendulous at maturity. Extremely adaptable, Limber Pine makes a fine specimen.
