Pinus heldreichii
Bosnian pine
Notes:
Now includes pines formerly known as P. leucodermis.
Needles in twos. Dirr describes the habit as "more appealing than P. nigra".
Prefers cool summers (Dirr does not even recommend south of USDA zone 6, but he's an outlier in that regard). Resistant to needle blight.
