Picturesque, Pinus sylvestris ‘Glauca'(Scots Pine) is a slow-growing, evergreen coniferous tree of somewhat pyramidal habit with an umbrella-shaped top. Its beautiful foliage of glaucous blue-green, twisted needles looks almost silvery blue in the cold months of winter. Equally striking is the bark, dark gray-brown on the lower trunk and thin, flaky, and bright copper-orange on the upper trunk and branches. Hardy, adaptable, and pollution tolerant, this Scots Pine is a great choice for a specimen plant or screens and windbreaks.
