Corsican Pine (or Pinus nigra) as the name suggests, is a plant from the mediterranean region. It is found in Spain, along to the Anatolian peninsula, to Cyprus and Corsica, and parts of North Africa. It can form part of the glory of sclerophyllous woodland and scrub. It is found at sea level to elevations of 2000 metres.
Corsican Pine is a large, evergreen tree that can grow to a height of 60 metres - though 40 metres is perhaps more typical. It grows quite fast - at a rate of 30 to 70 cm per year and is generally quite long lived (some may reach an age of 500 years), though on commercial plantations their 'life span' is considerably less. Corsican Pine grows best in full sun and on well drained soil.
