Pinus coulteri aka Bigcone Pine

Pinus coulteri, also known as the Coulter pine or big-cone pine, is a substantial coniferous evergreen tree in the genus Pinus. It is native to the coastal mountains of Southern California and northern Baja California in Mexico, with isolated groves found as far north as Clearlake, California on the flanks of Mt. Konocti and Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve. The species is named after Thomas Coulter, an Irish botanist and physician. This tree produces the heaviest cone of any pine tree, with cones weighing up to 5 kg (11 lb), and it is among conifers only exceeded by the cones of Araucaria bidwillii. The cones are large and spiny, measuring 20–40 cm (7.9–15.7 in) long, earning them the nickname "widowmakers" among locals. The Coulter pine is also known for its needle-like leaves, which are in bundles of three and glaucous gray-green in color. Although it has a limited range in the wild, the Coulter pine is a popular ornamental tree that is grown in many countries. Wildlife, especially squirrels, gather the large seeds, and they were also once eaten by Native Americans. However, the wood is weak and soft, so the species is little used other than for firewood. Bigcone Pine is a super rare houseplant that needs regular watering to thrive. They do best in long-lasting, direct light and should be less than 1 foot from a window. Bigcone Pine likes soil that is well-draining, and your plant shouldn't need added fertilizers if you repot each time it doubles in size.
