Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi) is a North American pine related to Ponderosa Pine. It occurs from southwest Oregon south through much of California (mainly in the Sierra Nevada), to northern Baja California in MexicoThis article is about the country Mexico.

Though there is no set definition of size, it is generally, reaching 25-40 m tall, rarely up to 55 m tall, but also much smaller when growing at or near tree-lineTree-line or timberline is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. Beyond the tree-line, they are unable to grow due to inappropriate environmental conditions. There are several types: Arctic tree-line The furthest north in the Nort. The needles are in bundles of three, stout, glaucous gray-green, 12-23 cm long. The cones are 12-24 cm long, purple when immature, ripening pale brown, with thinly woody scales bearing a short reflexed spine. The seeds are 10-12 mm long, with a large (15-25 mm) wing.

It may be distinguished from Ponderosa Pine by the needles, which are glaucous, less bright green than those of Ponderosa Pine, and the stouter, heavier cones with larger seeds. Jeffrey Pine is also distinct from Ponderosa Pine in its resin scent, like lemonLemons are the citrus fruit from the tree Citrus limon''. They are cultivated primarily for their juice, though the pulp and rind are also used, primarily in cooking. Lemon juice is about 5% citric acid, which gives lemons a sour taste. The lemon was unkn or vanillaFor other uses, see vanilla (disambiguation). Vanilla is a flavoring, in its pure form known as vanillin, derived from orchids in the genus Vanilla''.

It is composed of terpenes, mainly the monoterpenes alpha-pinene and beta-pinene. It is also known colloquially as turps''. Important pin scent of Ponderosa Pine. This may be tested by breaking a small shoot or some needles, or by sampling the scent of the resin in between the plates of the bark.

Jeffrey Pine is tolerant of serpentineSerpentine is a group of common rock-forming hydrous magnesium iron phyllosilicate ((Mg,Fe)SiO(OH)) minerals. In mineralogy, serpentine may refer to any of 20 minerals belonging to the serpentine group. Owing to admixture, these minerals are not always ea soils, and is often dominant in these conditions, even on dry sites at fairly low altitude. On other soils, it only becomes dominant at higher altitudes where the usually faster-growing Ponderosa Pine does not thrive.
