Scotch Pine
The Scotch Pine tree, Pinus Sylvestris, is a conifer that is a native of Europe and is widely used as a Christmas Tree! It is a fast growing, irregularly shaped tree.  The evergreen foliage consists of short, twisted needles, which are bluish-green and often change to yellow-green in winter.  Older trees have orange-colored bark in the crown.   It is a very winter hardy tree and is well suited throughout the Great Plains and Southern Canada.  It is known for its tolerance of poor soils that may be sandy, rocky, or of heavy clay! It can reach a height of six feet in six years with good care.  When used in windbreaks, it should be placed in east or south inside rows and works best in partial shade to full sun.  The Scotch Pine does best in well-drained soils and is adaptable to nearly all climates! It is a hardy tree that grows rapidly for a pine tree and tolerates prolonged drought. Thriving on neglect in full sun, Scotch Pine is grown in urban areas as an ornamental evergreen tree, in rural areas for erosion control, or for primary establishment. The Christmas tree or Scotch Pine tree is the perfect tree to beautify any yard! * Hardy * Christmas tree * Fast growing

In fact, its “October Glory” display of orange-red leaves lasts far longer than many other Maples.  For several weeks you will be treated to one of the most vibrant displays of any tree in your neighborhood. It would look spectacular in your yard as a central focus, or equally at home near other plantings due to its narrow, upward growth. October Glory is one of the most popular Maples for many reasons.  Tiny spots of fiery red flower clusters appear on the bare branches in the spring while the rest of your yard is still muted in browns and greys.  The birds will flock to the small, elongated red fruits that accompany the flowers.  Glossy green leaves will appear next, some slightly tinted with a reddish hue.  As summer progresses, your Maple will grow 2 feet or more, achieving an oval-rounded form for optimal shade. The October Glory can reach heights of 50' tall and 40' wide.  It’s far more tolerant of some soil and weather conditions than other Maples, and forgiving of a neglectful nature.  For a carefree, rapid-growth Maple of vibrant color you can’t do better than the October Glory. * Long lasting fall color* rapid growth* hardy
