Picea ‘Stone Pine’

Pinus pinea

Stone pine from the Mediterranean region is also known as the Umbrella Pine, as it forms a flat-topped tree with a shady canopy, much like an umbrella.
It is a pine harvested for its edible pine nuts, and with fire-resistant bark and resin that is used to make turpentine and for medicinal purposes as an antiseptic. They prefer a sandy loam soil that is slightly acidic in a sunny position.
