Plant Description

Pinus oocarpa, commonly known as the Ocote Pine or Egg-cone Pine, is a versatile and fast-growing conifer native to Honduras and other parts of Central America. At the 10-20 cm size, this young tree begins to develop its characteristic long, slender needles that are a bright green and grow in clusters. The tree is noted for its oval, egg-shaped cones that are relatively small and produce resin, which is often harvested for commercial use. Pinus oocarpa is highly valued for its adaptability to various climates and soils, making it an important species for reforestation, timber production, and erosion control.
