In a Nutshell:

* Pinus peuce ( Macedonian Pine ) is a species of pine native to the mountains of Macedonia , western Bulgaria , Albania , Montenegro , Kosovo , the extreme southwest of Serbia , and the extreme north of Greece , growing typically at (600-) 1,000-2,200 (-2,300) m altitude. It often reaches the alpine tree line in this area. The mature size is up to 35–40 m height, and 1.5 m trunk diameter.

* Dark green or gray-green needles, to 4", of narrow pyramidal or columnar habit, slow growing, wants full sun, good drainage, moist soil, an attractive tree, native to the Balkans

* Like other European and Asian white pines, Macedonian pine is very resistant to white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola). This fungal disease was accidentally introduced from Europe into North America, where it has caused severe mortality in the American native white pines (e.g. western white pine, sugar pine, whitebark pine) in many areas. Macedonian pine is of great value for research into hybridisation and genetic modification to develop rust resistance in these species, hybrids with eastern white pine inherit some resistance.

* Macedonian pine is also a popular ornamental tree in parks and large gardens, giving reliable steady though not fast growth on a wide range of sites. It is very tolerant of severe winter cold, hardy down to at least -45°C, and also of wind exposure. It is locally naturalised Punkaharju in eastern Finland. more...
