description for "Pine: Pinus sylvestris"
Two-needle pine growing between 60'-130' at maturity. The needles are short with a blue-green/gray tinge and are slightly twisted. Give this guy plenty of room to grow in a nice open location. Scot's Pine were once a very popular Christmas tree selection. Edited by Patrick Schwartzkopf
