Pinus Densiflora Subsp. Funebris

Black pine, scientifically known as Pinus densiflora subsp. funebris, is a striking evergreen conifer native to eastern Asia. It is characterized by its dark, almost black bark and dense, needle-like foliage that gives it its common name. This subspecies thrives in temperate climates and is often found in mountainous regions where it contributes to local biodiversity. Its unique appearance makes it a popular choice for ornamental gardening and ecological restoration projects. Despite its beauty, the black pine is also valued for its resilience and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
