Korean pine
pinus koraiensis latin

The tree species Pinus koraiensis is commonly called Korean Pine.

Korean Pine conifer cone are 8-17 cm long, green or purple before maturity, ripening brown about 18 months after pollination.

At lower elevations, the forests are filled with white birch and Korean pines; above 2000m the landscape turns treeless and windy.

She pointed to the young Korean pines, nestled among older Austrian pines, as an example of how the garden should have been managed over the years.

Korean Pine differs from the closely related Siberian Pine in having larger cones with reflexed scale tips, and longer needles.

Despite the highly-developed industrialization of Dalnegorsk, over 90% of the territory under its jurisdiction is covered with Korean Pine and mixed broadleaf forests which attract nature tourism enthusiasts.

Asian populations have been associated with Korean Pine, Chinese White Pine, Siberian Dwarf Pine and Japanese White Pine.

Pinolenic acid (often misspelled as pinoleic acid) is a fatty acid contained in Siberian Pine nuts, Korean Pine nuts and the seeds of other pines (Pinus species).

Korean Pine is a popular ornamental tree in parks and large gardens where the climate is cold, such as eastern Canada and the northeastern states of the USA, giving steady though not fast growth on a wide range of sites.

A Japanese field study found that S. spraguei was the dominant fungus in a 21-year-old stand of Korean Pine, both in terms of ectomycorrhizae (measured as percentage of biomass present in soil samples) and by fruit body production (comprising over 90% of dry weight of total fruit bodies collected of all species).
