Discover the majestic Pinus kesiya, known as Khasi pine or Benguet Pine, a symbol of natural grandeur in Asia. Thriving from the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, India, to the vibrant forests of northern Thailand, the Philippines, Myanmar, and beyond, this three-needled pine stands as one of the region's most widespread species. Towering up to 115 ft, Khasi pine showcases a straight, cylindrical trunk enveloped in thick, dark brown bark with deep longitudinal fissures. Its robust red-brown branches droop elegantly, adorned with needle-like, dark green leaves grouped in fascicles of three, reaching 20 cm in length.

Khasi pine doesn't just offer beauty; it's a cornerstone of the ecosystem. Flourishing in pure stands or mingling with broad-leaved trees, it avoids forming open pine forests, enhancing biodiversity. Economically, its soft, light wood is invaluable, catering to diverse needs from crafting boxes to producing paper pulp and temporary electric poles. Cultivated globally, especially in southern Africa and South America, Pinus kesiya remains a staple in both natural forests and plantations, embodying resilience and versatility in the world of forestry.
