Pinus halepensis StandardOrigin: the Mediterranean coast. Conifer with wide pyramidal habit, branched from the base and with thin, grey bark when young. As the plant ages it loses the lower branches and the trunk becomes slanting and sometimes twisted, the bark becomes rough, furrowed and grey while the crown spreads out and becomes an uneven umbrella shape. Needles 7-12cm long, limp and soft, green. Shiny, reddish-brown cones. Frugal species, resistant to drought and heat, grows well in all types of soil but prefers calcareous subsoils. Grows well on rocky slopes on seaside cliffs.
