saw this pine today - i dont recognise it. it is kinda graceful, needles scots pine colour~ish, fasicles with two upturned needles. this is probably more helpful than the pictures! sorry - rubbish phone

I could guess but it would be just that, are you able to get more pics of the needles and needle attachment?

needles in 2's. all the needles upturn bit like the tips of hanging ash tree branches. ghostly kinda grey green. probably distinctive, when you know it!

Without more info, the photos here and your description my best guess would be a black pine, either Pinus nigra var. laricio or Pinus nigra var. nigra

 

just a guess though, would need more for positive ID

[arbmark]

Nice one Rob, I am leaning towards Laricio. With a little bit of marky loving it would be an awesome specimen. Unfortunately it wont be getting love due to its being obstructing 20mins sun from some solar panels. Ironically the leylandii behind can stay but because its a straight fell and therefore the least costly, its going to cop it.

[RobArb]

Haha, didn't expect that:lol:

useless bloody solar panels and feed-in tariffs that rip everyone else off........ no sense..... call the council and get a TPO put on the tree!

yep had considered that....especially when he mentioned getting some work mates to cut it up for free logs:sneaky2: its almost a candidate i'd say.

i did enjoy hearing the government uturn on the guaranteed rate of buying their elec off them. not sure its taxpayers money well spent:confused1:
