Product Information:
The Scotch Pine (also called Scots Pine) is an excellent choice for a tough environment with an attractive shape. It has 1- 1 1/2 needles with a brownish/red or orange colored bark. Its original habitat from the Northern Europe and Eurasian range helped it develop a tolerance to high altitudes, poor soils, cold temperatures, and low moisture. Those characteristics make it a good choice for Wyoming and many areas of the Northwest USA. It has a good growth rate and is popular in the US for Christmas tree production. Scotch pine does require full sun, but its faster growth rate make a good choice for windbreaks.
