The Chir PIne has a medium to fast-paced growth to a height of 60'-80'. It forms a slender pyramid that later develops into a round-topped tree (30'-40' wide) with a symmetrical head. The light green needles are 8"-13" long and are grouped in 3's. Its cones produce edible pine nuts. Pines are highly combustible plants.
