This pine is a low-maintenance uniform specimen. An excellent evergreen for large lawns, parks or woodland areas.
Native to Canada and parts of North America, the Ponderosa pine can be found at low elevations along the very dry valleys of British Columbia's southern interior. This zone extends south to the United States where it is wider spread than in Canada. Aboriginal people in the southern interior of British Columbia had many uses for Ponderosa pine; they ate the seeds and inner bark of both the Ponderosa and Whitebark pine.
