The Coulter pine, also known as the big-cone pine, is a native tree found in the coastal mountains of Southern California and northern Baja California. It is named after Irish botanist Thomas Coulter and is known for producing the heaviest cone of any pine tree, weighing up to 5 kilograms. While it has a limited range in the wild, it is a popular ornamental tree and is grown in many countries. The tree can grow up to 24 meters tall and has needle-like leaves in bundles of three. Its large, spiny cones have earned it the nickname "widowmakers" and people are advised to wear hardhats when working in Coulter pine groves. The tree is closely related to the foothill pine and is often found in mixed forests. Its wood is not commonly used due to its weak and soft nature, but the large seeds are gathered by wildlife and were once eaten by Native Americans. The Coulter pine is also cultivated as an ornamental tree and has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
