Scotch Pine

Description:

Scots pine, scientific name Pinus sylvestris, is a coniferous evergreen. Originating in northern Europe, this fragrant evergreen was brought to North America where it is called Scotch pine and is customarily used for Christmas trees. Prune Scots pine like other pine trees to keep the tree healthy, but perform additional pruning if the desire is to create a conical shape favored for Christmas trees.
