(05) A PINE TREE
An enormous Umbrella pine - among the most beautiful ones I remember seeing.
Pinus pinea, family Pinaceae. The common name in Portuguese is Pinheiro Manso.
This particular tree is protected under the law (Diário da República nº 178/90), since August 3rd 1990.
The information panel is about to be absorbed by the trunk growth, and the tree will be seriously damaged if they don't fast move it away.
São João do Estoril - Cascais, Portugal.
