A waterfall of needles from Pinus × holfordiana (Holford pine). This hybrid occurred at Westonbirt Arboretum, UK, from a seed of a Pinus ayachuite (Mexican white pine) which had been pollinated by a Pinus wallichiana (Himalayan pine) that was growing nearby. The long fine needles are in clusters of five.
