Pinus sylvestris is a species of conifer, a pine, in the family Pinaceae. It is native to Eurasia. It is known as the Scots pine in English, alternatively as the Scotch pine in the United States, and occasionally the Baltic pine or European red pine. It can readily be identified by its combination of fairly short, blue-green leaves and orange-red bark.
