2 unusual facts about Pinus sibirica


Pinus sibirica

The Russian name Сибирский кедр (tr. Sibirsky kedr) is often mis-translated in English as "Siberian cedar"; references to "cedar" in texts translated from Russian usually refer to this tree or related pines, not to cedars.

Pinus sibirica, or Siberian pine, in the family Pinaceae is a species of pine tree that occurs in Siberia from 58°E in the Ural Mountains east to 126°E in the Stanovoy Range in southern Sakha Republic, and from Igarka at 68°N in the lower Yenisei valley, south to 45°N in central Mongolia.
