Thanks to both of you for giving me the info I needed.
It was news to me that P. halepensis is also native
to Israel, somehow I had presumed it did not extend
that far south. It does seem to handle drier and
hotter sites here in California with less disease and
insect problems, than our P. radiata. I have heard
from Michael Frankis in England on another web site
that P. radiata can live to be over 150 years old
there, with some original plantings from 1850's still
alive. It sounds like England is more similar to the
relictual climate of California which originally
allowed Monterey Pines to be much more widespread in
the past.
