In some forested areas like southern Nuevo León Pinus pseudostrobus is the tree with largest volume per hectare.[7]

English botanist John Lindley described the species in 1839. It is divided into Pinus pseudostrobus var.apulcensis (Lindl.)Shaw (Apulco pine), Pinus pseudostrobus f.protuberans Martínez and Pinus pseudostrobus var.pseudostrobus.[2][6]

It has been introduced in New Zealand near sea level and has done well.[citation needed]
