Pinus pinea (Pine Nut Tree) is a majestic, long-lived conifer known for its broad, umbrella-shaped canopy and edible pine nuts. It thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained, sandy or loamy soil, showing excellent drought tolerance once established. When planted young or from a small pot, it typically takes 6–8 years to begin producing pine cones with viable nuts.

Mature Size: about 12–20 m tall and 8–12 m wide.
