Occurrence
The Swiss stone pine grows throughout Central Europe, especially in France, Switzerland, Bavaria and Austria. At altitudes up to 2000 m as well as in Russia, Siberia, the Carpathians and Manchuria.
Characteristic and wood color
Sapwood and heartwood are sharply separated. The sapwood is yellowish-white with a silky sheen, while the heartwood is light reddish when freshly cut, but quickly darkens to the colour of common pine under the influence of light. Early and late wood are hardly distinguishable. Characteristic for Swiss stone pine are the very numerous firmly grown together red to reddish brown branches, which cut smoothly and do not crack. When this structure is exploited, the wood is very decorative, especially for interior fittings. The wood has a persistent, pleasant smell. It is very resinous.
