Shore Pine (Pinus contorta contorta) grows on many types of soils along the Pacific Northwest coastal areas.

The trees grow in a somewhat irregular pattern, often smaller and wider than the typical tall and thin pine tree shape.

Their adaptability makes them a popular landscaping tree.

The picture shows a cone surrounded by the two needle bundles on the branches.
