Needles are twisted and in bundles of 2s to 3 inches long. Vegetataive buds are purplish turning yellow green. Tolerates heavier soils than most other pines. This tree with dense foliage forms a canopy only after several years. It is used for windbreaks, screening, and background massing. Seeds serve as a source of food for birds and mammals.
