Pine Species ID

[ahosey01]

Drove by this tree the other day.  Doesn't look quite like an Eldarica - which are ubiquitous here around Arizona:

Anybody got an ID?  Trunk is red color.

Likely Pinus canaiensis, Canary Islnd. Pine.. Not exactly common, but have a few in the neighborhood.  No idea who sells them here.

That was what I was going to suggest as well.  They are quite popular here with developers for their relative speed and upright growth for street trees.  They were used extensively in street medians 25-30 years ago when Aviara (a large planned community) was being developed in SW Carlsbad, CA.  The developer that acquired the greenhouses across the street from me and built a little development used a combination of Pinus canariensis and Pinus torreyana for the common areas when building their project in 2014 as well.  Ironically, it looks like a little tiny slice of Carlsbad, dropped into Leucadia.

They used to plant these in extensively in parks, city and commercial projects all over San Jose back in the late 80s/90s. Most are still around and have grown into very nice specimens but others have suffered from beetle infestations -particularly during the drought years-  More so than Ital. Stone Pines..  Torry Pines are beautiful.. Like them more than Monterey.
