 | | | Trees for Light Soils: Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) Scots Pines are immensely hardy - surviving the last Ice Age - and will grow almost anywhere. They are particularly tolerant of poor and dry soils and exposed sites, although do not like sea spray. As a conifer, it provides helpful cover for birds in the Winter; Coal Tits, Goldcrests, and Crossbills are associated with the tree in particular.
In the Middle Ages a massive pine and birch forest blanketed most of the Highlands, and 4,000 years ago it was commonplace in England as well, before being driven out by deciduous trees. Here it was often later planted in clumps on hilltops as a marker tree for drovers' tracks. Cones can be used for kindling, and their resin for an antiseptic oil.
Provenance certificates are available on request for Scots Pine trees, which are from the Southwest of England.
