In a Nutshell:

* Mexican White Pine ( Pinus ayacahuite ), the common name in Spanish is ayacahuite ; family Pinaceae ) is a species of pine native to the mountains of southern Mexico and western Central America , in the Sierra Madre del Sur and the eastern end of the Eje Volcánico Transversal , between 14° and 21°N latitude in the Mexican states of Guerrero , Oaxaca , Puebla , Veracruz and Chiapas , and in Guatemala , El Salvador and Honduras .

* This species provides one of the most important and sought-after softwoods of Mexico. Formerly very large trees were common, yielding large volumes of an attractive, easily worked timber that provided the raw material for furniture and finish carpentry throughout the country. Those great stands have been largely depleted now, especially in southern Mexico and Mesoamerica (Perry 1991, Farjon and Styles 1997). more...

* It grows on relatively moist areas with summer rainfalls, however specimens from its eastern and southern distribution live under really wet conditions; it needs full sun and well drained soils. Its temperature needs fluctuate between 19 to 10°C on average a year. This tree accepts from subtropical to cool climate. more...
