Monterey pine Aurea Group

Aurea Group are large conifers, to 30m tall, with a conical habit when young becoming more dome-shaped as the tree matures. Golden-yellow needles, each up to 15cm long, are arranged in groups of three and densely-packed along the branchlets. The short-stalked, brown cones, up to 15cm long, are borne in whorls of two or three along the branches, often remaining closed for many years
