Pinus pinea
A beautiful tree that changes profile as it ages, going from being full and round to a flattened umbrella shape so that it is also called an umbrella pine. It is native to the Mediterranean region but has been carried further by humans.
These trees were in the archaeological ruins of Ostia Antica, outside of Rome.
These are the trees that yummy pine nuts come from!
