Pine ... different authors accept anything from 105 to 125 species. Pines are evergreen and resinous. The bark of most pines is thick and scaly, but some species have thin, flaking bark. The branches are produced in regular "pseudowhorls", actually a very tight spiral but appearing like a ring of branches arising from the same point. Many pines are uninodal, producing just one such whorl of branches each year, from buds at the tip of the year's new shoot, but others are multinodal, producing two or more whorls of branches per year. The spiral growth of branches, needles and cone scales are arranged in Fibonacci number ratios. The new spring shoots are sometimes called "candles"; they are light-colored and point upward at first, then later darken and spread outward. These "candles" offer foresters a means to evaluate fertility of the soil and vigour of the trees.

... from other evergreens? There are about 115 species of pine around the world. Pines are distinguished from all other trees by having pairs of uncovered seeds on their female cones, and needle-like slender leaves arranged in bundles of 2-5 with a permanent or deciduous sheath at their bases. Pines have adapted themselves to grow in challenging areas. Dry, sandy, or poor soils, bogs, extremes of cold and altitude do not deter the Pine!

I am reliably informed that we are in the midst of Spring, and it is rumoured that summer may be along sometime. We who earn our crust in the world of horticulture, are up to our eyes at this time of year. Which is why I’ve not been around much lately, and my contributions may be a bit thin on the ground for a while. It is a late season. In my part of the world, trees are only just beginning to come into leaf. It was this observation which prompted me to think of trees. Or more specifically, pine. Or even more specifically, Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris). I do understand, really, if non-tree-lovers are bored already. All ... Read the complete review

I have recently got round to redesigning the back garden of my home (finally after living in the house for two years!). Ive gone for a very low maintenance layout.....lots of gravel, pebbles and cobbles, finished off with some lovely pot plants. The other day I came home to find a new arrival in my garden. A pot had *appeared* containing a baby tree. *Do you like it?*, my husband said. *Its a Monkey Puzzle Tree!* *What on earth is that?*, I hear you ask - I certainly did! I was puzzled and intrigued so I have taken the time to find out about this remarkably strange tree with the unusual name...... Also known as the Chilean Pine or ... Read the complete review
