Turkish pine, scientifically known as Pinus brutia, is a species of pine tree native to the Mediterranean region, particularly found in Turkey and surrounding areas. It typically grows in dry, rocky soils and can reach heights of up to 30 meters. The tree is known for its straight trunk and long, slender needles, which are usually grouped in pairs. This tree is valued for its timber, which is used in construction and furniture making due to its durability and resistance to decay. Additionally, Turkish pine plays a crucial role in local ecosystems, providing habitat for various wildlife and contributing to soil stabilization.
