A very large conifer growing to 15m with a broad crown.
It thrives in coastal sandy areas with moist but well-drained soils, but will grow on poor dry soils too, but more slowly.
Common names are Mediterranean stone pine, umbrella pine and parasol pine. The tree is native to the Mediterranean region, occurring in Southern Europe and the Levant. It was the first pine used and cultivated by man, its edible seeds have been harvested for perhaps half a million years or more. Stone pine nuts have been considered as an aphrodisiac all around the Mediterranean since ancient times.
Many people will have heard about the dangers of Pine processionary caterpillars. This will be more of a concern if you live near pine forests, but if there are no other large groups of pines within 2 or 3 km then the risk of spread is quite low.
We are a plant nursery in the Algarve specialising in dry mediterranean species. We propagate and grow our own stock in conditions they are likely to endure when they are planted out.
We grow plants that are adapted to the dry land conditions in Portugal and southern Spain, both mediterranean perennials and succulents.
We choose plants that require very little water and maintenance. We produce a range of dry land plants that are typical of the worlds mediterranean regions. These are available to order ready for planting in the wetter months of the year. Please order the plants you need and we’ll have them ready at the best time for planting.
To ensure your new plants adapt and establish quickly, we produce them in special anti-spiral root pruning containers and a range of fibre pots (no plastic waste) with our own tried and tested growing media.
