Scotch Pine, also known as Scots Pine or Pinus sylvestris, is a beautiful evergreen coniferous tree that is native to Europe and Asia. It is widely recognized for its distinctive long, bare and straight trunk with a rounded or flat-topped mass of foliage. This tree is extremely adaptable to various soils and can grow up to 25 meters in height when mature, exceptionally to 35-45 meters tall on very productive sites. The bark is thick, scaly dark grey-brown on the lower trunk, and thin, flaky and orange on the upper trunk and branches. The leaves of this tree are a glaucous blue-green, often darker green to dark yellow-green in winter, and are produced in fascicles of two with a persistent grey basal sheath. The seed cones are red at pollination, then pale brown, globose and can be between 3-7.5 centimeters in length. Scotch Pine is an important tree in forestry, with its wood being used for pulp and sawn timber products. It is even used as a Christmas tree when in its youth due to its irregular pyramid shape. This tree is extremely popular due to its beautiful appearance and ability to thrive in various environments.
