Mediterranean stone pine
We selected the Mediterranean stone pine (Pinus pinea) for our orchards because it is the most sought after pine nut in the culinary world. It is a beautiful tree, tough and resilient to dry and sunny climates, and very adaptable to cultivation. Stone pine has a long and sustained history of usage throughout Europe over thousands of years. This tree is also sometimes known as the umbrella pine because of its broad convex crown.
