About Your New Pinus halepensis Aleppo Pine

Pinus halepensis, the Aleppo Pine, is a tough fast-growing evergreen conifer native to the Mediterranean. Known for its bluish-green needles and broad umbrella-shaped canopy, it is the classic pine for creating a South of France look in dry Australian gardens.

Aleppo Pine grows to 10-20 metres tall and 6-10 metres wide. Young trees start with a pyramidal shape, gradually developing into a wide open crown with age. It is well suited to avenue planting, shelterbelts, and providing high shade in rural and Mediterranean-themed designs.

Aleppo Pine is highly drought tolerant, wind resistant, and thrives in full sun with minimal maintenance. It performs reliably in coastal, sandy, rocky, or nutrient-poor soils, making it an excellent choice for low-water landscapes, windbreaks, and coastal gardens across SA, VIC, NSW, WA and beyond.
