Aleppo Pine

The Aleppo Pine, scientifically known as Pinus halepensis, is a resilient, evergreen conifer native to the Mediterranean region. It typically grows in dry, rocky soils and is adapted to withstand drought and high temperatures. This pine has slender, light-colored bark and narrow needles grouped in pairs. It produces small cones that release seeds helpful for reforestation and ecological stability. Due to its drought tolerance, the Aleppo Pine is often used for land reclamation, windbreaks, and ornamental planting in hot, arid climates. It also plays a vital role in local ecosystems by providing habitat and preventing soil erosion.
