In its native habitat, it grows in open areas on northern slopes in heavy clay. Although they grow in heavy clays, this will do equally, as well in sandy to loam type of soil as well. Cones take 3 years to mature, but each year new cones are formed, insuring a continuous crop, once they reach bearing age. This product has a very attractive appearance, with an enriched blue colour to the needles all year round. Has the distinction for producing edible nuts and landscaping. We have had trees produce cones at the age of 5 years, but normally it takes 7-9 years. With our experience, it will take approximately 12 years of age to produce up to 1 bushel of cones. Although it is stated by other authorities, crop production begin's at 40 years of age.   This product requires inoculant for best growth and results.
