**Product Information: Pinus halepensis**
Pinus halepensis, commonly known as the Aleppo Pine, is a species native to the Mediterranean region. It is frequently used for both forest and ornamental reforestation due to its adaptability and colonizing nature. This tree thrives in dry conditions and is not particular about soil quality, although it may struggle in prolonged frost.
**Technical Characteristics**:
- **Climate Zone**: Coast/interior
- **Heat Resistance**: High
- **Frost Tolerance**: Moderate (sensitive to prolonged frost)
- **Drought Resistance**: High
- **Soil Preference**: Tolerates lime
- **Proximity to Sea**: Resistant
- **Sunlight Requirement**: Full sun
- **Height**: Tall
- **Crown**: Wide
- **Habit**: Large
- **Shape**: Irregular
- **Application**: Green spaces
**Foliage and Reproductive Features**:
- **Leaves**: Perennial, simple, light green
- **Flowers**: Bloom in spring
- **Fruits**: Mature in autumn, brown in color
- **Shade Density**: Moderate
- **Growth Rate**: Fast
**Tree Presentation Options**:
1. **Root Ball Preparation**: Facilitates establishment with a high proportion of absorbent roots, avoiding root deformation. Wrapped in jute and wire mesh for stability.
2. **Presentation Grades**: Classifies tree presentation formats from 1 (lowest grade) to 3 (highest grade).
3. **Complete Root System**: Requires careful management during cultivation to prevent root circling.
4. **Exposed Roots**: Uprooted directly from the ground. Not recommended for all species, including Pinus halepensis.
This scientific study aims to optimize tree planting in urban areas of the Iberian Peninsula, demonstrating Belloch Forestal’s commitment to providing the best options for sustainable urban forestry.
