The sugar pine is the largest species of pine, commonly growing to 130–200 ft tall, with a trunk diameter of 5–8 ft. The leaves (needles) are in bundles (fascicles) of five, with a deciduous sheath. They are 2-4 inches long. Sugar pine is notable for having the longest cones of any conifer, mostly 10–20 in. long. The seeds are 0.4-0.5 in. long, with a 0.75-1.2 in. long wing that aids wind dispersal. The seeds of the sugar pine are also a type of pine nut and are edible. The sugar pine has long straight branches, weighed down at the tips by the cones.
