🌲 15 Aleppo Pine Seeds (Pinus halepensis)

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.

• Water lightly and maintain a constant warmth (20-25°C) until germination.

• Transplant outdoors in full sun after a few months.

• Can be grown as a Mediterranean bonsai.

The Aleppo Pine prefers poor, calcareous, or sandy soils, and full sun exposure. Once established, it is very undemanding.
