Pinus nigra, the Austrian pine or black pine, is a moderately variable species of pine, occurring across southern Mediterranean Europe from Spain to the eastern Mediterranean on Anatolian peninsula of Turkey and on Corsica/Cyprus, including Crimea, and in the high mountains of the Maghreb in North Africa.
It is found at elevations ranging from sea level to 2,000 metres (6,600ft), most commonly from 250–1,600 metres (820–5,250ft). Several of the varieties have distinct English names.
Description
Pinus nigra is a large coniferousevergreentree, growing to 20–55 metres (66–180ft) tall at maturity. The bark is grey to yellow-brown, and is widely split by flaking fissures into scaly plates, becoming increasingly fissured with age. The leaves ("needles") are thinner and more flexible in western populations (see 'Taxonomy' section below).
