Pinus massoniana, also known as Masson's Pine or Chinese Red Pine, is an evergreen tree native to central and southern China, Taiwan, and northern Vietnam. It grows up to 25-45 meters in height with a broad, rounded crown of long branches. The bark is thick and greyish-brown at the base of the trunk, becoming orange-red, thin, and flaking higher up. Its needle-like leaves are dark green, 12-20cm long, and persistently fascicled. The tree's wood is widely used in construction, railway sleepers, mine timber, furniture, wood pulp, and more. Its resin is also a source of Chinese rosin, and its leaves are used to flavor Lapsang souchong tea. Pinus Massoniana is a common plantation forestry tree for replacing the loss of natural forest in Southern China. It is hardy to zone 7 and prefers acidic and neutral soil.
