Pinus nigra ssp. salzmannii, commonly known as Pyrenean Pine, Spanish Black Pine or Cevennes Pine, is a versatile conifer that stands as both a majestic timber tree and a striking ornamental specimen. Native to the Pyrenees, Southern France, and Northern Spain, this subspecies of Pinus nigra is esteemed for its ability to reclaim landscapes through reforestation and prevent soil erosion, making it an invaluable asset in environmental conservation.

Characterized by its towering height of up to 165 ft and its open canopy, this evergreen conifer boasts immense, upwardly-spreading branches adorned with long, resilient green needles. The tree's bark transitions from a warm brown-yellow hue to a dignified grey as it matures, adding year-round visual interest. Its little brown pine cones carry seeds, further enhancing its ecological value.

Perfectly suited to Mediterranean and warm climates, Pinus nigra ssp. salzmannii thrives in limestone and basic soils. Renowned for its drought resistance and hardiness to 23ºF, it is a favored choice for gardeners seeking a unique addition to wild gardens and singular landscape designs.
