Comments:
This is a slow-growing conifer that typically grows 30-50' tall in about the same number of years. Its most stunning ornamental feature is its exfoliating bark which peels, somewhat like a sycamore, to reveal an underlying patchwork of white, olive, light purple and silver, eventually becoming milky white at maturity. Lacebark pine is an excellent specimen for the landscape and the bark offers some special interest during the winter. Branches, however, are brittle and susceptible to damage from heavy snow and ice, particularly if the tree is grown in a multi-trunked form. This tree is also good for bonsai. The specific epithet honors Russian botanist Alexander von Bunge (1803-1890).
