Hi All, I have not been diligent in labling my trees and as such can't recall what type of pine this is. I hope the photos are clear enough ti identify it. Thanks.

gday mate,

looking at the needles and needle length + bark i would hazard in saying that it is a stone/allepo pine - pinus pinea or pinus halenensis.

jamie

Yes Allepo does ring a bell.

Yep,

i agree as well.

grant

Radiata needles grow in groups of three, stone pine (P. pinea) and allepo pine (P. halepensis) needles are in pairs and stone pine have longer, stiffer needles.

And here's me thinking this would be a challenge. Tahnks all.

Hi Fella's , Radiata pines can actually have 2-3-4-and 5 needles , Aleppo can actually have 2or 3 .Cheers Alpine

aleppo pine = lone pine?
