The needles of Scotch pine are produced in bundles of two. They are
variable in length, ranging from slightly over 1-inch for some varieties
to nearly 3-inches for others. Color is likewise variable with bright
green characteristic of a few varieties to dark green to bluish tones
more prominent in others. As a Christmas tree Scotch pine is known for
its excellent needle retention and good keepability. It resists drying
and if permitted to become dry does not drop its needles. When displayed
in a water filled container it will remain fresh for the normal 3 to 4
week Christmas season. Like all natural trees it is readily recyclable
and has many different uses following the Christmas holidays. |
