Pinus maximinoi
Also called Thinleaf Pine
Thin-leaf pine is a tall conifer native to Mexico and Central America, found from wet subtropical forest to cool mountain cloud forest. It is a forest tree rather than a garden or houseplant, so it needs space and a cool-to-mild climate.
Pinus maximinoi is a species of conifer in the family Pinaceae. It is sometimes referred to by the common name thinleaf pine. It is native to El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. It reaches a height of 15–30 meters (49–98 feet) and has smooth bark when young.
Pinus maximinoi grows in a range of habitats from wet subtropical forest, to drier pine or oak-pine forest or woodlands, as well as cooler, mountain cloud forests. It grows in an equally wide range of elevations from 450 to 2,800 meters.
