Jeffery Pine

Pinus jeffreyi

Discovered by Scottish botanist John Jeffrey, in 1852 in the Shasta Valley of northern California, this pine is a native of southern Oregon and California. It has long blue-green needles in groups of three, and sometimes also in bundles of two and three needles on the same tree. The cones are very large. Jeffrey pine may live 400 to 500 years and on the best sites can reach an impressive size.
