The Yakushima White Pine (Pinus amamiana) is a native of southern Japan, on the islands of Yakushima and Tanegashima south of Kyushu. It has also been grown horticulturally in Japanese parks. This pine can grow to a height of 25 m with a trunk diameter of up to 1 m.
The needles grow in bundles of five and the cones are 5-8 cm in length.
This tree is known in Japanese as Amami-goyamatsu, Amami-goyo, and Yakutune-goyo.
Pines are coniferous trees of the genus Pinus, in the family Pinaceae.
Pines are mostly monoecious, having the male and female cones on the same tree, though a few species are sub-dioecious with individuals predominantly, but not wholly, single-sex.
Pines are commercially among the most important of species used for timber in temperate and tropical regions of the world.
