Pinus peuce
Macedonian pine, Macedonian stone pine

Notes:

Needles in fives.

Not for planting near paved areas due to litter, but this is now like the third time I've seen UFL use these exact same two paragraphs of descriptive text that warn about the litter and the surface roots (the other two being P. cembra and P. koraiensis), and in this particular case they then turn right around and say "Surface rooting: not a problem", so I don't know what's going on there. Also, they keep calling it "Umbrella Pine" in the descriptive text but "Macedonian pine" elsewhere, so for this plant I am inclined to trust their actual database details over the text.

Resistant to white pine blister rust.
