Pinus sylvestris, Scots Pine wire rootball 125-150cm

Pinus sylvestris – Scots Pine Wire Rootball Pinus sylvestris (Scots Pine) is Britain's only native pine, and few trees bring the same wild, windswept character to a garden. Blue-green needles catch the light all year, while the upper trunk and branches develop that unmistakable warm orange-red bark which glows in low winter sun. Supplied as a wire rootball specimen at 125-150cm, this is a substantial, field-grown tree with an established root system, ready to settle in and start making a statement from its first season.
