its one of the difficult-to-identify Pines... 95% are replanted Pinus halepensis, but there are others like Pinus brutia, which according to some botanical books, requires examination of the needle leaves

P. brutia have needle leaves in pairs.

P. anariensis are known of having very large cones !

Ouch that was an efficient trap

But I do not think it's canariensis or pinea either...

well- it is Pinus brutia! The cones are not hanging down (in contrast to halepensis)

The non hanging cones is a better characteristic from the needles

I keep an eye !
