32. Mexican Weeping Pine
(Pinus patula)
Location: 1140 Dartmouth Pl.
Nominator: Warren Roberts
Next door at 1140 Dartmouth Pl. is a beautiful Mexican weeping pine. Although not as tall (55 ft) as the Austrian pine, this tree has a gorgeous spreading crown (48-ft spread) and drooping tufts of needles. The stout trunk (6.5-ft girth) and feathery foliage are very attractive. Native to the highlands of Mexico, the Mexican weeping pine is quite drought resistant and merits increased use as an ornamental tree in Davis.
