Pinus brutia is also called Pinus Calabria as the name say "Brutia - Bruttium " which was the ancient name for what is now Calabria in the south of Italy.This Pine is also found from Italy , Greece to Libanon. It has very nicely patterened bark on it's trunk. A very nice Pinus plant for rather large garden.
