Species: Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris)
Category: WOODY PLANTS
Where and when encountered: Anagach Woods on 17 June 2021
About: Scots pines have been widely planted in Great Britain and have become naturalized in some places with acidic soils. They are only native, however, to Caledonian pine forest, where they are the largest, the longest-lived, and the numerically dominant species of tree. Numerous other species are either partially or wholly dependent on the food, materials, and shelter that are provided by this species.
