Pinus halepensis is named after the syrian town of Aleppo (Haleb), but its main distribution is in the west Mediterranean. Interestingly it is the only native pine in Israel (besides Syria). Its identifying character is the cones that are growing in a sharp angle to the stem.
This is the commonest pine in Israel. It is usually planted, but there are some natural groves. You can identify it by the sharp angle between the cone and the stem. The species is commoner in the west Mediterranean region.
