This is a fast growing pine for regions with extremes of temperature and the rigors of periodic drought. Afghan pine is native to the eastern Mediterranean, Afghanistan and Persia. Populations are most numerous in semi-arid areas with extreme summer heat and very cold winters.

For live plants, we can't send them to Alaska and Hawaii. If the order has already been placed, we will cancel it.

Happy Gardening!
