The stone pine belongs to the large botanical genus of pines. The stone pine is a tree of the high mountains and adapted like no other to the harsh climatic conditions. It can withstand frosts below minus 40°C. Together with larches and mountain pines, it can be found at the upper tree line up to 2500 m above sea level. It is on average 200-400 years old, the oldest stone pines reach an age of 1200 years. Old specimens are often disheveled by the wind and deformed by lightning and snow breaks. The height growth varies depending on the location, but normally it is about 25 meters high.
The Swiss stone pine has five needles each on a short shoot, bluish green in color and triangular with a blunt tip.
The seeds ripen in the second year. The cones are immature of violet color and are often processed into pine schnapps in the Alpine region.
The wood with its characteristic fixed branches is very soft. It is primarily used for carving and turning, but also in carpentry.
Particularly pleasant for humans, but not popular with insects, is the scent of pine wood. It is preserved for years and has a pleasant effect on the well-being of the residents. newest
