Dramatic Chinese Red Pine Trees (Pinus tabuliformis) feature pigmented bark and small, reddish-brown cones with broad scales and edible pine nuts! Over time, a picturesque, flat-topped profile develops and becomes a living landmark that will stand out in your landscape!
An upturned branching structure and long, soft needles make the evergreen Chinese Red Pine a charismatic addition to your garden design. They'll grow quickly when young into a handsome landscape asset.
Many parts of the tree are used for medicinal purposes: pine needle tea is brewed from the gray-green leaves, and both tannin-rich bark extract and resin are harvested for Traditional Chinese Medicine. In Asia, the wood is used for construction with aromatic pulpwood that resembles vanilla. It's also a good source of natural Turpentine!
If you don't eat them, the songbirds will love picking out the pine seeds and nesting in the sheltering limbs. Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 5 to 7, Red Pine grows 30 - 50 feet in height and half that in width.
Planting and Application:
Leverage the broad, spreading branches in a backyard setting with custom-fit decking underneath it. Make the most of the sculptural charms of a durable Chinese Red Pine Tree with good planning and judicious pruning. Uplight into the canopy with exterior lighting for an exciting nighttime display. That light is further reflected off the sheen of the narrow foliage!
Plant a single tree as a specimen in an Asian Garden. Consider building a berm and bringing in a special boulder and Japanese Kerria flowering shrubs to present a compelling contrast.
If you have the room, try a trio planted in a sweeping curve as a beautiful backdrop for outdoor barbeques. Plant at the southwest aspect of your patio for year-round shade and structure. Mix among windbreaks, shelterbelts, and privacy hedges!
For an incredible, long-lived hobby tree…order a healthy, high-quality Chinese Red Pine from NatureHills.com to start a new specially-pruned Bonsai. There is something so windswept and romantic about the table-shaped form of this special species.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant in full sun with at least six hours of sunlight a day. They need rich, well-drained soil for best results. Include symbiotic Nature Hills Root Booster in the planting hole of your important evergreen landscape trees. Supply supplemental water on a regular basis to keep your tree stress-free. Mulch over the root zone, then pull it back away from touching the main trunk. Prune to correct broken limbs and candle prune to control size in early spring. Give it plenty of space to achieve the full spread for the best impression in the landscape. All plants appreciate Nature Hills Root Booster and a 3-4 inch layer of arborist bark chips to support their growth.
