Pinus brutia

The Pinus brutia, or Turkish Pine, is a hardy, fast-growing evergreen conifer native to the eastern Mediterranean region. It is known for its tall, straight trunk, reddish-brown bark, and feathery, green needle-like foliage. This resilient tree grows up to 20–25 meters in height and is widely planted for reforestation, timber production, and as an ornamental tree in warm climates.

Turkish Pine thrives in arid and semi-arid conditions, tolerates poor soils, and is often planted in coastal areas due to its salt tolerance.

Specifications:

• Height: 20–25 meters
• Width: 5–8 meters (canopy spread)
• Native to: Eastern Mediterranean (Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, and surrounding regions)
• Foliage: Slender, bright green needles in pairs; evergreen
• Growth rate: Moderate to fast

Conditions:

• Soil: Prefers well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils; tolerates poor and calcareous soils
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Low; highly drought-tolerant once established
• Climate: Thrives in Mediterranean, arid, and coastal regions

Additional Features:

• Cones: Woody, oval-shaped cones that release seeds, often serotinous (open after fire)
• Uses: Ideal for reforestation, timber production, windbreaks, and erosion control
• Spacing: Plant 6–8 meters apart for optimal growth
• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care; prune dead branches if needed
• Pest Resistance: Resilient to most pests; monitor for pine processionary caterpillars
• Fire Adaptation: Well-adapted to fire-prone areas; regenerates quickly after fires
• Environmental Benefits: Stabilizes soil, prevents erosion, and provides habitat for wildlife

The Turkish Pine is a versatile and resilient species, perfect for arid and coastal landscapes, offering ecological and economic value while thriving in challenging conditions.

How are ex-ground trees prepared for delivery?

All ex-ground trees are carefully dug with their rootball intact to preserve the root system and minimize transplant shock. Each tree is stabilized and treated with specialized solutions to promote health during transit. The rootball is wrapped to retain moisture and protect it from damage, and water crystals are added to provide essential nutrients and hydration for the journey. These meticulous preparations ensure your tree remains healthy and ready for planting, whether it’s traveling across the country or overseas.
