gsv; Pines (mostly) along Sunflower Avenue, on the approach to South Coast Plaza. No sunflowers, though.
Their cones, needle-drop, and sometimes oozing resinous sap make them less than ideal for street trees; but people tend to look on them favorably. |
Very correct
Odin....the needle drop OMG.
We had a very tall deodar pine tree [Wood of the Gods] in our Alhambra yard in the 1950-60s. The needle drop was huge. One season could easily fill several 55 gallon drums. That tree is still there in 2020....its at least 90+ years old. Its native to India and surrounding area.
