The Aleppo pine

The Aleppo pine is common in the Alpilles. Indeed, beyond the fact that it enjoys low altitudes (900m below) and the Mediterranean regions (hot climate, dry soils, lots of sun), it has the distinctive feature of growing very quickly. This is why we can see its presence after a forest fire, because this is the first variety which will restore the landscape. Highly flammable, its bark was once used for tanning hides or dyes.
