Summary
Pinus bungeana, commonly known as Lacebark Pine, is an evergreen tree native to rocky mountainous areas and dry river basins in China. It typically grows to heights of 15–25 meters and is frost hardy down to below -26 °C. The tree is notable for its exfoliating bark, which peels away in irregular patches to reveal a mosaic of greens, whites, and purples underneath, creating a striking visual effect. The needles are arranged in bundles of three and can be up to 10 cm long. Lacebark Pine produces small, inconspicuous cones.
Lacebark Pine is valued for its unique bark, which adds year-round interest, and its overall hardiness, making it a favored ornamental in temperate regions. It is often used in bonsai and as a specimen tree in gardens and parks. This species prefers full sun but can tolerate light shade. It requires well-drained soils and is relatively drought-tolerant once established. While it has no major pest or disease issues, it can suffer from root rot in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
