The specimen that guards our front gate, here in
Corfu had already attained full height (23 metres) and considerable thickness of
trunk when I bought this property 35 years ago. A guesstimate of its age is
between 80 and 100 years.
This year, for the first time it produced no pine
cones. Should I take that as a sign that it's beginning to
die?
I can find no figures for life-span in our climate
(in England apparently it can live up to 200 years but doesn't set
seed).
Could it be a disease? It looks healthy and bright
green.
Any helpful information welcome
Cali, Corfu Geece
