Pinus sylvestris |

Scot's Pine |
Description
Some features of the sylvestris include its stout, twisted needles and egg-shaped cones. Its trunk is often crocked, and the bark, which peels in irregular plates, is a purple-grey color which changes to orange and flanking toward the top. Positive growth will result from planting in acidic, well-drained soil. It is best to destroy severely beetle-ridden trees.
