Pinus x holfordiana

A hybrid between P. wallichiana and P. ayacahuite, raised at Westonbirt arboretum near here in 1904. It has made magnificent specimens at the arboretum which share characteristics of both parents. A tall vigorous tree with semi-pendulous grey-green foliage and long banana-like, fragrant resinous cones when mature. A rarity worthy of inclusion in any arboretum.
