About this product

Pinus sylvestris, also known as Scots Pine, is the only Pine native to the UK. Its tall trunk and tufty crown are well-recognised throughout the country.

It doesn’t thrive on the coast (Pinus nigra types are better placed there) but works well on any free-draining soil.

It sends out only one growth spurt a year in the spring, extending by up to 75cm.

The needles are slightly blue, especially when young, and its craggy bark makes an attractive feature.

Pinus sylvestris is best planted as an evergreen feature in a large garden or parkland.

Mature Height: 12-17m

Note: Large specimens are 2-2.5m tall, supplied in 100L containers.
