Pinus sylvestris is Britain's only native pine, valued for its evergreen needles and the warm orange-brown bark that becomes more prominent on the upper trunk and branches as it matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied approximately 1.5–1.75 m tall with a wire-supported rootball, this conifer is a distinctive choice for larger gardens, shelter planting and landscape schemes.

This is the supplied height, not its eventual mature size. Branching, density and overall shape vary naturally between individual trees. Allow generous room for future crown and root development; Scots Pine is not a dwarf conifer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePosition and growing conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose an open, sunny position with well-drained soil. Scots Pine is well suited to many lighter soils, but avoid ground that remains waterlogged. For a windbreak, plan spacing and companion planting to suit the site rather than treating it as a tightly clipped hedge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlanting and aftercare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the rootball moist and protected before planting. Prepare a wide planting hole and position the root flare at soil level. Support the rootball during handling, and follow the nursery's guidance for the wire basket and wrapping without breaking up the rootball. Water thoroughly after planting, stake where needed and mulch clear of the trunk. Water during dry spells while establishing and check tree ties regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stoneybrook Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57633126711671,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/7234\/2610\/files\/PinussylvestrisWRB1.5-1.75m.jpg?v=1792683134","url":"https:\/\/stoneybrooknursery.co.uk\/products\/pinus-sylvestris-scots-pine-wire-rootball-1-5-1-75-m","provider":"Stoneybrook Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
