Editing Pinus strobiformis (section)

==Distribution==
It is native to Mexico in the [[Sierra Madre Occidental]] mountains, from a short distance south of the [[US–Mexico border]] south through [[Chihuahua (state)|Chihuahua]] and [[Durango]] to [[Jalisco]].<ref name="POWO1"/>  The pine rarely appears in pure strands, but grows along with other native conifers, such as [[Pinus durangensis|Durango pine]] ''Pinus durangensis'', [[Pinus arizonica|Arizona pine]] ''Pinus arizonica'', [[Populus tremuloides|American aspen]] ''Populus tremuloides'', [[Abies durangensis|Durango fir]] ''Abies durangensis'', [[Pseudotsuga menziesii|Douglas-fir]] ''Pseudotsuga menziesii'', and the Mexican [[subspecies]] of [[Picea engelmannii|Engelmann's spruce]] ''Picea engelmannii'' subsp. ''mexicana''. It is a drought tolerant tree but greater populations grow on moist and cool places living in association with other pines.

<!-- ==Uses==
The southwestern white pine can be grown as a [[Christmas tree]], [[windbreak]] tree, or an ornamental tree. It is popular as a replacement in drier areas for the eastern white pine. It can be used in cabinet making, but it is poor as a lumber tree.<ref name="USDA">{{cite web |title=Pinus strobiformis |url=http://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/tree/pinsto/all.html |work=Fire Effects Information System |publisher=USDA Forest Service |access-date=25 July 2013}}</ref>  The seeds were used as a food by Native Americans in the present day [[southwestern United States]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Whitney |first=Stephen |title=Western Forests (The Audubon Society Nature Guides) |date=1985 |publisher=Knopf |location=New York |isbn=0-394-73127-1 |page=[https://archive.org/details/westernforests00whit/page/356 356] |url=https://archive.org/details/westernforests00whit/page/356}}</ref> [references cited cover P. strobiformis sensu Sudworth non Engelmann, = P. reflexa]  -->
