The Aleppo Pine, or Pinus halepensis, is an iconic Mediterranean species, drought-resistant and valuable for reforesting poor soils.
This majestic conifer, also called Provence white pine , Aleppo pine, Jerusalem pine, Calabrian pine or Oriental pine , is known for its adaptation to dry climates and its light foliage that lets light through.
This perennial conifer can reach up to 20 meters in height. It has a slender and irregular silhouette, persistent foliage with soft needles, and produces typical cones that house its winged seeds. Its resin is very aromatic.
🌱 Growing tips:
Sow the seeds in spring, after a cold stratification 30 to 45 days in the refrigerator.
Place them on the surface or 0.5 cm deep, in a light and well-drained mix.
Water lightly and maintain a constant warmth (20-25°C) until germination.
Transplant outdoors in full sun after a few months.
The Aleppo Pine prefers poor, calcareous, or sandy soils, and full sun exposure. Once established, it is very undemanding.
