* An excellent windbreak for maritime areas, it grows quite quickly and establishes well even in very windy sites.
* This is an excellent pioneer species for re-establishing woodlands on disused farmland, difficult sites etc.
* Bacteria on the roots fix atmospheric nitrogen - whilst this enables the tree to grow well in quite poor soils it also makes some of this nitrogen available to other plants growing nearby. more...

* Native to southern Italy (including Sardinia ) and Corsica. more...
