Scots pine Pinus sylvestris is a species of pine that is native to Eurasia , ranging from Western Europe to Eastern Siberia , south to the Caucasus Mountains and Anatolia , and north to well inside the Arctic Circle in Fennoscandia. It is readily identified by its combination of fairly short, blue-green leaves and orange-red bark. The species is mainly found on poorer, sandy soils, rocky outcrops, peat bogs or close to the forest limit. On fertile sites, Scots pine is out-competed by other tree species, usually spruce or broad-leaved trees. It is the national tree of Scotland. Other names sometimes used include Riga pine, Baltic pine, [8] Norway pine, and Mongolian pine for var. In the past before the 18th century , this species was more often known as "Scots fir" or "Scotch fir". The timber from it is also called red deal or yellow deal, the name "deal" being adopted from the dimensional format term for a plank. Another name, although less common, is European redwood. The bark is thick, scaly dark grey-brown on the lower trunk, and thin, flaky and orange on the upper trunk and branches [12].
