The ponderosa pine, Southern Oregon’s most common native pine, is a striking tree ideal for spacious landscapes. It is known for its long needles in bundles of three, distinctive vanilla- or butterscotch-like scent, and thick orange-brown bark. This species requires less nitrogen and phosphorus than many others allowing it to thrive in soils with low fertility. Ponderosa pine supports a wide variety of wildlife. Its seeds, needles, and bark attract birds including Crossbills, Grosbeaks, Jays, Woodpeckers, Nuthatches, Siskins, Kinglets, Chickadees, and Finches, while older trees provide valuable nesting sites.
