Discover the beauty and history of Pinus Sylvestris, the only pine native to northern Europe. Also known as Scotch or Scots Pine, this tree has served as a vital resource in forestry, with its adaptable wood used for pulp and timber products. Introduced to North America in 1600, it's grown into a beloved symbol of the holiday season, commonly grown as a Christmas tree. What sets this pine apart? It’s the longer-than-average needles, the irregular pyramid shape when young, and the distinctive orange-red bark. This evergreen tree is a survivor, easily adapting to various soil types and thriving from sea level to high-altitude mountain areas. Its lifespan ranges from 150-300 years, with some specimens living to be over 700 years. Its leaves display a rich range of colors from glaucous blue-green to dark yellow-green in winter. It's also a species with a wide geographical reach, from Ireland and Great Britain in the west, stretching to Siberia in the east, and residing as south as the Caucasus Mountains and north as Lapland.
