The Canary Island Pine (Canariensis) has a long life span relative to most other plant species and a slow growth rate. At maturity, the typical Canary Island Pine (Canariensis) will reach up to 98 feet high, with a maximum height at 20 years of 60 feet.
The Canary Island Pine (Canariensis) is easily found in nurseries, garden stores and other plant dealers and distributors. It can be propagated by bare root, container, seed. It has a slow ability to spread through seed production and the seedlings have high vigor.
