Korean Pine

Also known as Chinese Pinenut, Red Pine

Korean pines dominate ancient mixed temperate forests across northeastern Asia, reaching heights over thirty meters with majestic blue-green needles grouped in clusters of five. These long-lived conifers rely on mutualistic relationships with birds and rodents to disperse their large, heavy, wingless seeds. Highly valued for both ecosystem stability and dense resinous timber, mature stands provide critical habitat for Asian wildlife including the Siberian tiger.
