Pinus orizabensis
Orizaba pinyon is a small to medium pine tree from high-altitude central Mexico, endemic to a small area of Puebla and Veracruz. It is a cold-hardy, cool-climate pine that grows best in full sun with good drainage and is rarely grown outside its native range.
Pinus orizabensis, the Orizaba pinyon, is a pine in the pinyon pine group, endemic to central Mexico. It is considered also as a sub-species of Pinus cembroides which is classified as Pinus cembroides subsp. orizabensis D.K.Bailey. It has larger seeds than the type.
The range is localised, confined to a small area in the eastern Eje Volcánico Transversal range (Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt), in the states of Puebla and Veracruz. It occurs at high altitudes, mostly from 2,200–2,800 metres (7,200–9,200 ft), in a cooler, moister climate than the other pinyon pines.
