The mountain pine
Credit
: PNV - BALAIS Christian
Description
The trail you go up crosses the old meadows now colonised by conifers, especially the mountain pine. This pine (Pinus uncinata) takes its name from its cones which carry hooks on the scales. Its dark green needles are joined together in pairs and measure 4 to 8 cm. The mountain pine favours the dry, steep slopes. Ÿou may confuse it with the Scots pine that you will also find along your way.
