  About Sugar Pine cones from Cascade Pine Cones
Sugar pine is the tallest of all pines, often reaching heights of 61m (200ft.) and widths in excess of 3.5 m.
Sugar pine can be identified from a distance by the open, narrow, and flat-topped crown with long horizontal branches that, from a distance, can be seen drooping at the ends due to the weight of the cones clustered at the ends of the branches (Kinloch and Scheuner, 1990).
Sugar pine is also easily distinguished by its silvery-lined bluish green needles, clustered five to a fascicle and 7-10 cm in length with several rows of obvious stomates on both sides of the needle.
