Scots pineScots pine
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris)

Family: Pinaceae

Common names: Archangel redwood, Baltic fir, Baltic pine, Baltic redwood, Common pine, Danzig fir, Danzig pine, Finnish fir, Finnish redwood, Fir, Gefle fir, Memel fir, Norway fir, Pine, Polish redwood, Red deal, Red pine, Redwood, Scotch pine, Scots fir, Scots pine, Siberian redwood, Soderhamn fir, Swedish fir, Swedish redwood, Vanlig tall, Vanligtall, White sea fir, Yellow deal

Distributed in: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Russia, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Yugoslavia (Eastern Europe, Mediterranean Sea Region, North America, Western Europe)

Distribution overview: The growth range of this European species is larger than that of any other pine. It occurs from Scotland to the Pacific Coast of Siberia, from Norway to Spain, and from Arctic Siberia to Mongolia. It is also reported to grow in the Mediterranean region, and is a naturalized species in localized areas in southeastern Canada and northeastern United States, from New England to Iowa. The tree tolerates city smoke rather well, and can thrive in various soils, from loams to sand.

Common uses: Bedroom suites, Boat building (general), Boat building: decking, Boat building: masts, Boat building: planking, Boxes and crates, Building construction, Building materials, Cabin construction, Cabinetmaking, Chairs, Chests, Construction, Decorative veneer, Desks, Dining-room furniture, Factory construction, Fine furniture, Flooring, Form work, Furniture , Furniture components, Furniture squares or stock, Furniture, Heavy construction, Joinery (external): ground contact, Joinery, Light construction, Living-room suites, Lock gates, Mine timbers, Oars, Office furniture, Piling, Plywood corestock, Plywood, Poles, Posts, Pulp/Paper products, Railroad ties, Rough construction, Rustic furniture, Tables , Turnery, Utility furniture, Vehicle parts, Veneer, Wardrobes

Product sources: Supplies of Eastern white pine are limited, but its availability is increasing after reaching a low in the 1940's and 1950's. Clear grade material is still difficult to obtain. Younger trees and plantations are reported to have replaced the tall straight virgin forest trees that were prized for ship masts in the colonial period.
