The Chihuahua White Pine, Pinus strobiformis, family Pinaceae, is a species of pine tree that occurs in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains of Northern Mexico, from a short distance south of the United States border south through Chihuahua and Durango to Jalisco.

It is typically a high-elevation pine, often growing mixed with several other pine species. In favourable conditions, it makes a tree to 30 m, rarely 40 m tall.

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or pine:

    I have put a padlock
    on you, Mother, dear dead human,
    so that your great bells,
    those dear white ponies,
    can go galloping, galloping,
    wherever you are.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Generally speaking, the political news, whether domestic or foreign, might be written today for the next ten years with sufficient accuracy. Most revolutions in society have not power to interest, still less alarm us; but tell me that our rivers are drying up, or the genus pine dying out in the country, and I might attend.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
