Pinus strobiformis var. veitchii

This hardy Mexican species forms a large tree with a spreading crown and fairly long, slender, glaucous needles, making a handsome specimen. In this variety the long, fragrant, resin smeared cones have extremely reflexed scales and reach huge proportions, especially when dry and open; one I have on my windowsill is 30cm x 12cm. Synonymous with P. ayacahuite var. veitchii.
