About Pinus halepensis – Aleppo Pine

Pinus halepensis, commonly known as the Aleppo Pine, is a hardy conifer recognised for its tall, irregular form and open, spreading canopy. The bark is grey to reddish-brown, becoming fissured with age, and the needles are slender, light green, and borne in pairs. Mature trees typically reach 12–20 metres in height with a spread of 8–12 metres. Cones are ovoid, woody, and persist on the tree for several years, contributing to its rugged appearance.

This species is fast-growing under favourable conditions and is noted for its resilience in hot, dry climates. It is drought-tolerant once established and tolerates coastal exposure and poor soils, but it is not suitable for frost-prone or waterlogged sites. Pinus halepensis is evergreen, requiring full sun to develop a strong crown. Maintenance is minimal, with occasional removal of lower branches if required. Its dense foliage provides shelter and habitat for birds and other wildlife.

They look excellent when planted in coastal landscapes, used as windbreaks, or grown as feature trees in large open spaces. Aleppo Pines are also used in civic plantings, parks, and along roadsides where a durable, low-maintenance conifer is required.

Key Information to Know

Evergreen / Deciduous

Pinus halepensis – Aleppo Pine is an Evergreen (foliage year round) Tree

Mature Height & Width

Mature Height: 12–20 metres

Mature Width: 8–12 metres

Pinus halepensis – Aleppo Pine is expected to grow 50 – 100 cm per year (fast).

Frost Tolerance

Is Pinus halepensis – Aleppo Pine frost tolerant?

Pinus halepensis – Aleppo Pine is Not Frost Tolerant – Cannot survive frost, should be avoided in frost-prone areas.

Flowering Information

Pinus halepensis produces small, inconspicuous yellow male cones and reddish female cones in spring. While not ornamental, these seasonal reproductive structures mature into classic woody pine cones that sit attractively among the fine, blue-green needles.

Native Information

Is Pinus halepensis – Aleppo Pine an Australian Native? No

Pinus halepensis – Aleppo Pine is Native to The Mediterranean region, particularly Spain, southern France, Italy, Greece, and North Africa, where it grows on rocky slopes and coastal hills.

Wildlife Value

Its cones and seeds attract cockatoos, parrots and seed-eating birds, while the dense branching provides excellent roosting and shelter for small birds. The rough, fissured bark and needle litter also support insects and microfauna, enhancing biodiversity in large gardens and dry-climate landscapes.

Sunlight Information

Pinus halepensis – Aleppo Pine will thrive best in:

Full Sun

Preffered Soil

Pinus halepensis performs best in well-drained sandy or loam soils and tolerates slightly acidic to slightly alkaline conditions. Exceptionally hardy, it adapts to poor, rocky and coastal soils but may struggle in heavy clay or waterlogged sites unless improved with coarse material and organic matter for better drainage. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then move to deep, infrequent watering as the tree matures to support its drought resilience, strong root anchoring and healthy evergreen canopy.

Planting, Spacing & Care

Choose a sunny, open position with free-draining soil.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball.
Mix compost into the soil to encourage establishment.
Water deeply after planting and mulch around the base.
Protect young trees from strong winds until well established.

Feature Planting: Space 8 – 12 m apart
Shade Canopy: Space 10 – 12 m apart
Avenue Planting: Space 8 – 10 m apart

Water regularly during establishment; minimal watering required once mature.
Apply a balanced fertiliser annually in spring.
Remove lower branches if clearance is required for access or form.

Sandy soils: Thrives with minimal care, highly suited to coastal conditions.
Loamy soils: Excellent performance with rapid establishment.
Clay soils: Performs poorly in heavy, wet clays; requires improved drainage.
Coastal soils: Highly tolerant of salt-laden winds and sandy coastal positions.
Poor soils: Well adapted; benefits from organic matter for stronger growth.

Pinus halepensis – Aleppo Pine is expected to grow 50 – 100 cm per year (fast).

Frost Tolerance

Not Frost Tolerant – Cannot survive frost, should be avoided in frost-prone areas.

Drought Tolerance

As a young tree it requires regular watering, but once established the Aleppo Pine develops exceptional drought tolerance. One of the toughest Mediterranean pines, it thrives in hot, dry, coastal and exposed conditions and maintains strong evergreen growth with minimal supplementary watering, even in poor soils.
