Joseph et al:
I have been working on a lumber case for the past four years and know
way more that I ever cared to know about species of trees, so when I
saw your question I got curious. I know from having been in Jalisco
that the mountainous areas are a mix of coniferous and deciduous
forests, and that the plains are grasslands but this gives all of the
details of the extent of those ecoregions as well as the actual
species that grow there. Pinus Montezumae... cool name... also known
as Ocote as in Ocotlan, Jalisco (which literally means the place of
Montezuma pines).
"Pine forests in Mexico grow at elevations of 2,275-2,600 m and are
composed mainly of Pinus montezumae."

The following website from Semarnat (Secretariat of Environment and
Natural Reources) gives more details on all the major commericalized
plant species in Mexico:

Joseph,
Just trying to dull your "ax". I don't want you swing too hard and
hurt yourself.
I'm an old woodsman from way back. I used to and still do heat a
majority of the time with a wood insert and split wood. One way to
keep
from hurting yourself is to keep your Ax razor honed to make sure
it
"bites" and doesn't glance off like a dull Ax is likely to do and
catch
a leg. My Ax is currently ready to go, but I'm really expecting
that
most on the Ax list will communicate and not stay on the list.
thanks for your concern, just trying to be fair to all.

ps: in an effort to keep this on topic, what kind of trees do they
have
in Jalisco, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes.
pps: well here is a better effort. Check out this death cert for my
GGG
grandfather. It seems he was a woodman too, but unfortunately he
got in
the way of a Palo. That almost happened to me once. And it was one
big palo!
