An evergreen with long blue-green needles, sometimes reaching 5 inches, grown in bundles of 5 that are soft and flexible. When reaching maturity it produces curved elongate brown cones that are 3–8 inches long. Grows anywhere from 50-80 feet in height. The bark is smooth and gray when the tree is young but wrinkles greatly as the tree ages. Can be transplanted with relative ease and works well for windbreaks. They are a common nesting site for the American Bald eagle
