The Canary Island Pine, also known as Pinus canariensis, is an evergreen tree native and endemic to the Canary Islands. Growing up to 140 feet tall, it is a subtropical pine that can survive temperatures down to 15-20 °F (Hardiness Zone 8). This pine is highly adaptable to variable rainfall regimes and is one of the most drought-tolerant pines, living with less than 200mm of rain per year. Its aromatic wood is among the finest of pine woods and is popular as an ornamental tree in warmer climates. The needles of the tree contribute significantly to the islands' water supply, trapping large amounts of condensation from the moist air coming off the Atlantic with the prevailing winds. These trees also play a crucial role in preventing forest fires as they are highly fire-resistant. As this species of pine is endangered due to over-cutting, conservation efforts are crucial to protect these remarkable trees.
