Pinus sibirica

15 seeds Pinus sibirica.

Pinus sibirica, or Siberian pine, in the family Pinaceae is a species of pine tree that occurs in Siberia from 58°E in the Ural Mountains east to 126°E in the Stanovoy Range in southern Sakha Republic, and from Igarka at 68°N in the lower Yenisei valley, south to 45°N in central Mongolia.

Siberian pine, Pinus sibirica, is a popular ornamental tree in parks and large gardens where the climate is cold, such as central Canada, giving steady though not fast growth on a wide range of sites. It is very tolerant of severe winter cold, hardy down to at least –60 °C, and also of wind exposure. The seeds are also harvested and sold as pine nuts.
 
The Russian name Сибирский кедр (tr. Sibirsky kedr) is often mis-translated in English as "Siberian cedar"; references to "cedar" in texts translated from Russian usually refer to this tree or related pines, not to cedars.
