Arolla pine, scientifically known as Pinus cembra, is a slow-growing evergreen coniferous tree native to the Alps and Carpathian Mountains. The cones of Pinus cembra are cylindrical, measuring about 5-8 cm in length. It is relatively low-maintenance once established, making it suitable for landscaping in alpine gardens or as a specimen tree. In terms of cultivation, this species prefers well-drained soil and full sun exposure. The tree's resilience to harsh weather conditions and its ornamental value make it an admired choice. It is characterized by its pyramidal shape, with blue-green needles grouped in clusters of five. This species is valued for its wood, used in construction and furniture making.
