Derivation of the botanical name:
Pinus, pitys, πιτυϛ, "a pine tree."
brutia, Brutium, old name of Calabria. Brutium after an ancient Italic tribe that had occupied the land. Previously, it had been known as Enotria after another tribe.
- The standard author abbreviation Ten. is used to indicate Michele Tenore (1780 – 1861), an Italian botanist.
Pinus brutia was not part of the country’s native arboreal landscape. It was introduced into plantations in Eretz Israel from the 1930’s onwards, and today replaces Pinus halepensis in the country’s planted forests.
