Key Attributes
About Scots, Pine Seed
Striking orange bark on the upper trunk and branches sets Scots Pine apart, along with its twisted blue-green needles. This hardy, adaptable evergreen, Pinus sylvestris, grows into a picturesque tree with an irregular, open crown as it matures, and it is a longtime favorite for Christmas trees and windbreaks. This Mongolian seed source is selected for cold, dry climates; its needles may yellow in winter and green up again in spring.
