Pinus wallichiana
Botanical Name: Pinus wallichiana
Common Name: Bhutan Pine or Himalayan White Pine
Family: Pinaceae
Natural Distribution: Asia-temperate - "Himal: southern flank, from Afghanistan through Pakistan, India, Tibet (China: Xizang), Nepal and Bhutan to Burma. Found in valleys and foothills at elevations of 1800-3900 m, sometimes in pure stands but often in association with conifers including Cedrus deodara, Abies pindrow, Picea smithiana and Juniperus excelsa subsp. polycarpos, and with broadleaved species including Quercus semecarpifolia, Betula utilis, ard Acer and Ilex species. It may also be associated with the more narrowly distributed pines Pinus kesiya and P. roxburghii" (extract from conifers.org)...photo taken in the Kyneton Botanic Gardens (Victoria, Australia)) recently (no label, so that's my guess!)...boy, would I love to have the oppurtunity to plant up (in cultivation) a stylized (is that the word?) forest that included the trees mentioned from conifers.org...Cheers JB π²π²π²
