"Patula Pine, Pinus patula (Mexican weeping pine, pino llorón in Spanish)(patula Latin = spreading) is a tree native to Mexico. It grows from 24° to 18° North latitude and 1800 to 2700 m above sea level. 30 m tall. It does not stand long periods of temperatures as low as –10°C, but occasionally it resist them and even lower. It is moderately drought tolerant, in this scope is superior than Pinus taeda. Rainfall range is from 750 to 2000 mm annual average, it happens mostly in summer but in a little area of the State of Veracruz on the Sierra Madre Oriental its habitat is rainy year round.
"Planted at high altitudes in Ecuador (3500 m), Bolivia, Colombia (3300m), Kenya, Tanzania, Angola, Zimbabwe, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii (3000 m), in Hawaii it is replacing the native alpine grassland. It is cultivated in at lower altitudes than its origin country: Southern Brazil, South Africa, India, and in the Argentine provinces of Córdoba and San Luis[1]it is planted for forestation purposes for creating forest in lands originally covered by bushland. It has been introduced near sea level : New South Wales, Australia, where it spreads naturally by wind and is very favored because rainfalls are more abundant in summer. Also introduced in New Zealand with commercial purposes is fully naturalized. Cultivated in United Kingdom as ornamental and grows well." (Wikipedia)

Distinguished from the bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) by the broadly attenuate (not rounded) base of the pine-cone, each scale of which has no terminal prickle or weak one to only 1 mm, and an amber color to the resin on the pinecone. The Kaweah Peaks Ridge sits in background. This site at the base of Tawny Point looks across the Bighorn Plateau, south of Forester Pass.

Conspicuous resin ducts are found in the cortex, primary and secondary xylem, but rarely the pith. The ducts are surrounded by secretory parenchyma that produces resins and many toxic terpenes including the turpentines. This antiseptic material solidifies when exposed to air, acting to seal wounds, to protect the plant from fungi, insect and bacterial infection and to discourage herbivores. Some secretory cells enlarge into dark staining tyloses that block the resin dusts.

Una especie común de pino aqui en Nuevo León, es la especie que tiene las piñas mas pequeñas, aquí las pueden ver.
A esta especie o le gustan las montañas muy altas, por lo que generalmente las podemos ver por arriba de los 1,000 msnm, de hecho en el Parque Chipinque hay esta especie.
