Product Description

The Pinus montezumae is a striking conifer native to Mexico’s high altitudes. People often call it the Montezuma pine due to its impressive stature and distinctive needles. This evergreen tree reaches remarkable heights, making it a majestic addition to natural landscapes and large gardens. Its lush, green foliage adds year-round color and texture.

The Pinus montezumae has long, slender needles grouped in bundles, which give the tree a soft and elegant appearance. This Mexican high altitude pine thrives in mountainous regions and can endure colder climates compared to other pines. Gardeners admire this Montezuma pine tree for its resilience and beauty, which combines well with other native plants in natural settings.

  • Can grow up to 30 meters tall with a conical shape
  • Needles grow in bundles of five, bright green color

The Montezuma pine is a true symbol of Mexico’s rich flora. It contributes significantly to mountain ecosystems and provides beautiful green cover year-round. The Pinus montezumae Mexico forests play vital ecological roles and add ornamental value to natural and cultivated spaces alike.
