Pinus Pinaster Subsp. Renoui

Pinus pinaster subsp. renoui is a rare and lesser-known variant of the maritime pine, native to the western regions of the Iberian Peninsula. This subspecies is distinguished by its unique morphological traits, including its slender needles and compact cones. It thrives in specific microhabitats, often found in coastal areas with sandy soils and mild climates. Due to its limited distribution, it is considered a vulnerable species facing threats from habitat loss and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this botanical rarity for future generations.
