Stone pines Sardinia
The stone pine, Pinus pinea, is also known as the Italian stone pine, umbrella pine and parasol pine. It is a tree from the pine family (Pinaceae). It is native to the Mediterranean region, occurring in Southern Europe, Israel, Lebanon and Syria. It is also naturalized in North Africa, the Canary Islands, South Africa and New South Wales. The species was introduced into North Africa millennia ago, such a long time that it is essentially indistinguishable from being native. Stone pines have been used and cultivated for their edible pine nuts since prehistoric times.
