Discover the elegance of Pinus pseudostrobus, Smooth-bark Mexican Pine, an exceptional evergreen distinguished by its long, pendulous needles that create a graceful, open conifer. With needles up to 12 inches long bundled in fascicles of five, this pine presents a striking visual element to any landscape. In its native mountains of Central and Southern Mexico—extending to areas in Central America—this pine thrives in mixed conifer, pine, and conifer-oak forests. Known for its impressive growth, it can reach heights of over 120 feet and widths of 60 feet, developing from a pyramidal form in youth to a majestic flat-topped canopy with maturity.

Its cold hardiness is observed at USDA Zone 8b, making it an attractive choice for Southern landscapes. Noteworthy for its smooth, red- to grey-brown bark in youth, maturing into a thick, scaly texture, this species introduces a dynamic aesthetic over time. Unique seed and pollen cones contribute to its ornamental appeal. While it is an excellent choice for diverse environments, its availability is limited due to logging pressures, making it a rare gem for collectors and conservationists alike. Known as false weymouth pine, or pino liso in Spanish, Smooth-bark Mexican Pine is a testament to natural beauty and resilience.
