Pinus halepensis

Pinus halepensis is a medium-sized conifer that is native around the Mediterranean basin. It is fast-growing, light-demanding and regenerates vigorously after fire via serotinous cones. The heartwood is reddish-brown. The species is of limited timber value due to its size, shape and relatively poor wood quality. It is, however, used as pulpwood and firewood.
The Aleppo pine grows along the coasts of the Mediterranean and harbours a moderate number of caterpillar species all of which also feed on other pine species. If planted more widely, mnay additional pine herbivores are expected to incorporate that tree species into their diet.
