is a very beautiful variety of pine from the mountains of Corsica, presented as a subspecies of black pine. Some individuals claim 900 to 1000 years of age. The tree provides one of the most rot-resistant wood. Twigs taken from trees cut by loggers are distilled. Unlike Scots pine, laricio pine has a molecular complexity where monoterpenes do not reign supreme.
