Endlicher Pine
FAMILY: PINACEAE
Native to the high mountains of Mexico.
Needles are 5 to a bundle and 6-8” long.
Seed cones are sessile and 3.5-4” long.
Since tree #220 is large and planted on city property, it is hypothesized that Ernie Fischer, once curator of Hoyt Arboretum, collected or acquired the seed from Mexico or England and propagated it at a city nursery.
