Qiaojia Pine

Qiaojia Pine was discovered in April 1991 by Pangzhao JQ.

Qiaojia Pine (Pinus squamata; zh: ?????) is a critically endangered pine native to a single locality consisting of about 20 trees in northeast Yunnan, China, at about 2200 m elevation. It was only discovered in 1991 and is critically endangered. Its mature height is unknown because none of the living trees are yet mature, but they could possibly grow to 30 m or greater. Its habitat is open secondary woodland, scrub, and grassland mixed with Yunnan Pine. More
