Pinus Halepensis (Aleppo Pine)
Pinus Halepensis (Aleppo Pine) is a hardy, evergreen conifer native to the Mediterranean region. It is known for its tall, straight trunk and distinctive, long, slender needles that form in clusters of two. The tree produces small, elongated cones and has a light green to bluish-green foliage that provides year-round colour and shade.
Aleppo Pine is drought-tolerant and thrives in a variety of soil types, especially well-drained, sandy or rocky soils. It can grow in full sun and withstands heat and dry conditions, making it a great choice for landscapes in warm climates. Its dense canopy and tall stature provide excellent coverage, making it suitable for use as a windbreak, privacy screen, or ornamental tree in gardens and parks. The tree's striking form and resilience make it a popular choice in arid, Mediterranean-style gardens.
