'''''Pinus montezumae''''', known as the '''Montezuma Pine''', is a species of [[conifer]] in the [[Pinaceae]] family. |
|||
It is found only in [[Mexico]]. But it has been recently spotted growing in the middle east region as well. The tree grows about 35 m high and 80 cm in diameter; occasionally it may reach a height of 40 m and diameter of 1 m. It has a round crown. The bark is dark brown-grayish. |
|||
It is found from the Mexican states of [[Nuevo León]] (25° N). Lat. and [[Jalisco]] (22°) to the North and to [[Guatemala]] (15° S. Lat.) to the south. It occurs on both mountain ranges of the [[Sierra Madre Oriental]] and [[Sierra Madre Occidental]]. It grows at altitudes from 2000-3200 m above sea level. It is found in areas between 800-1000 mm rainfall per year. In most of the tree's habitat, rain falls mostly in summer, but in the state of [[Veracruz]], precipitations are spread year round and the climate is very wet. However, specimens from the state of [[Jalisco]] grow in semi-arid places. It occurs in warm temperate to cool climates (18° C to 10° C). At the highest altitudes of its distribution it usually receives snow in the winter. |
|||
Wood- yellowish-brown white, the heartwood light brown; is hard, heavy and used for construction. It is appreciated for its resin. |
|||
First 3 to 6 years growth is slow, after this stage is a fast-growing tree. |
|||
Planted commercially: in [[South Africa]] and [[Queensland]], [[Australia]] at mid altitudes. |
|||
[[Kenya]], [[Malawi]], [[Botswana]], [[Zimbabwe]] and [[Bolivia]] at high altitudes. Trees planted in, [[New Zealand]] and [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]] near sea level have done very well. |

Pinus montezumae, known as the Montezuma Pine, is a species of conifer in the Pinaceae family. It is found only in Mexico. But it has been recently spotted growing in the middle east region as well. The tree grows about 35 m high and 80 cm in diameter; occasionally it may reach a height of 40 m and diameter of 1 m. It has a round crown. The bark is dark brown-grayish.
It is found from the Mexican states of Nuevo León (25° N). Lat. and Jalisco (22°) to the North and to Guatemala (15° S. Lat.) to the south. It occurs on both mountain ranges of the Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Madre Occidental. It grows at altitudes from 2000-3200 m above sea level. It is found in areas between 800-1000 mm rainfall per year. In most of the tree's habitat, rain falls mostly in summer, but in the state of Veracruz, precipitations are spread year round and the climate is very wet. However, specimens from the state of Jalisco grow in semi-arid places. It occurs in warm temperate to cool climates (18° C to 10° C). At the highest altitudes of its distribution it usually receives snow in the winter.
Wood- yellowish-brown white, the heartwood light brown; is hard, heavy and used for construction. It is appreciated for its resin. First 3 to 6 years growth is slow, after this stage is a fast-growing tree.
Planted commercially: in South Africa and Queensland, Australia at mid altitudes. Kenya, Malawi, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Bolivia at high altitudes. Trees planted in, New Zealand and New South Wales, Australia near sea level have done very well.
