Turkish pine

Turkish Pine is also known by several other common names, Calabrian Pine , East Mediterranean Pine and Brutia Pine.

Pinus brutia was planted outside its native range in Greece from early times for this harvest (G. Schiller, 1993, pers. comm. to M. P. Frankis).

This form is probably dispersed by Krüper's Nuthatch Sitta krueperi (Frankis 1992). Var. More
