Scots Pine - Pinus Sylvestris


I found this Scots Pine (the latin name for which is Pinus Sylvestris) in Longford park early spring. The bark is distinctively red, however there are various Scots Pines with a grey-brown bark. The needles are in bunches of 2 as you can see from the last picture of the bud.
