Pinus sibirica
Pinus sibirica, commonly known as Siberian pine, is a coniferous tree native to the cold regions of Siberia and parts of Mongolia. It typically grows to heights of 20 to 30 meters and has a straight trunk with a conical crown. The tree is well-adapted to harsh climates, thriving in poor, sandy soils and enduring extreme temperatures.
The seeds of Pinus sibirica are edible and highly nutritious, often harvested for food. The tree is also valued for its timber, which is used in construction and furniture making. Its resilience and utility make it an important species in its native habitat.
