Scots Pine: Pinus sylvestris

To continue your walk you will now enter a small arboretum of a little over twenty species of trees growing between the pond edge and Sussex Road. The area starts with a canopy of about a dozen Scots Pines (Pinus sylvestris) displaying a pink hue on the higher bark of the trees. This species may have survived the last glacial period in the tundra as tiny plants. As the ice sheets melted it re-established and became first to colonise the land as much as 11,500 years ago. This is one of the many pines which produces its needle shaped leaves in pairs which are short and blue-green. Now look for a pine which has longer darker needles and does not have the pink tinge to the upper bark. This is the Black Pine (Pinus nigra).
