In a Nutshell:

* Pinus montezumae , known as the Montezuma Pine , is a species of conifer in the Pinaceae family. It is native to Mexico and Central America , where it is known as Ocote . The tree grows about 35 m high and 80 cm in diameter, occasionally it may reach a height of 40 m and diameter of 1 m. It has a round crown. The bark is dark brown-grayish.

* It occurs in warm temperate to cool climates (18°C to 10°C). At the highest altitudes of its distribution it usually receives snow in the winter.

* Ocote wood is yellowish-brown white, with the heartwood being light brown, is hard, heavy and used for construction. It is appreciated for its resin. The resin is so flammable that a cut branch will burn as a torch emitting black smoke when ignited, for this reason, it is very common in Mexico to use ocote wood as a fire starter for campfires and barbecues.

* Planted commercially: in South Africa and Queensland, Australia at mid altitudes. Kenya, Malawi, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Bolivia at high altitudes. Trees planted in New Zealand and New South Wales, Australia near sea level have done very well. more...

* A vanillin flavouring is obtained as a by-product of other resins that are released from the pulpwood. more...
