Scots Pine

If you want to add a dramatic touch to your garden an evergreen will often be an ideal choice, and few are as majestic as the Scots Pine Pinus sylvestris. This is a tree for large, open gardens because it can grow to a truly impressive size, but if you have the space for it you’ll be delighted at its appearance and presence. A perfect shade tree and a true evergreen that looks as good in winter as in summer, the Scots pine has a primal appeal that few other trees can match. Noted for its towering trunk and broad, irregular canopy of foliage it’s guaranteed to catch the eye and draw approving remarks from all who see it. This is no delicate, cultured tree; even in a garden it’s wild and proud.
