| Pinus thunderbersii, a
dioecious evergreen tree, occurs on sunny, sandy- beaches or rocks,
many inhabiting coastal areas of sand leading to shores - remarkably
resistant to salty winds. The trunks reach around 25m in height and
1.5m in diameter. Leaves are bilobar,10-15cm long, the cross-section
being hemispheric, 1.5-2mm wide, with tips sharply pointed. New
leaves keep themselves on branches for three years and drop
afterward. Male flowers set themselves many at new branches' bases,
and female ones two at the branches' tips. Bloom time: May. |
