Pinus sylvestris Tree
The only pine tree native to the UK, Pinus sylvestris is a popular evergreen conifer with blue-green, slightly twisted needles. Known as Scots Pine, the trunk is easily recognisable with a rugged texture, turning reddish brown near the top as it matures. Elevated above a tall trunk, sits the bushy, upright crown that is host to dozens of grey-brown pine cones developing from the female flowers.
With a mature height and spread in excess of 10 x 8 metres, this conifer is suited to large gardens or woodland settings. For a small garden, you may want to look at our other Pine trees. The growth rate of Pinus sylvestris is relatively fast for a conifer. It will grow in most soil types and copes well in a well-drained site but it is best to avoid coastal situations.
