Torrey Pine (Pinus torreyana) is one of California's rarest (in habitat) and most beloved trees. Endemic to just a sliver of the coastline of San Diego County, this tree lives on sandstone bluffs and canyons and is often stunted in growth naturally. When planted in other areas, this tree can reach impressive sizes. This pine tree loves the sun and should be planted as such. If you desire a true symbol of California's open spaces and have the space to plant it, the Torrey Pine is an excellent choice.
