Regular readers may remember that I'm not a fan of Scotch Pine. I just think they look coarse and stupid until they get to be several decades old (at which time they learn how to dance).
But, at this time of year, they become perfect Christmas tree with natural candles for decorations.
Huh? Don't worry, they aren't about to burst into flame. This is just the new growth for the year just before the needles lengthen and darken!
The dancing? See Choirs of Trees

I guess this makes them Christmas trees in training :)
I agree. They don't even look like Scotch pines until they are old and gnarled. I love the character in them then.
Whoops how can a tree not look like what it is? You get my meaning.
That's pretty good. It really does look like candles.
Ann- Ha! The CTIT unit at camp.
John- I get you completely.
Ratty- They seem to grow straight up more than some species.
