Hello folks! I've attached a PDF of photos of a pine I'd like to identify. You may well need to zoom out to get a full page first. Salient info about the tree is as follows... Photos : 2014-05-07, Edinburgh Tree H x W : 5.6 x 4 m Bole : 1.5 m x 32 cm (with smaller branches lower than this) Needles : 50 x 1.5 mm, Not Stiff, Not Spiky, 2 per Fascicle, Profile Thin Rectangle with Top Slightly Rounded and Bottom Flat, Whorl Gap ~ 5 cm. [Note that the second to last picture looks like serrated needle edges but I think that's just an effect of the shadow cast on the uneven surface below!] Cones : The one in Photo is 65 x 35 mm (Closed, Fallen) with Stalk 10 mm, Scale Width 10 mm The cone looks a bit like a Scots and there's orange on the bark, but in other ways it seems to differ. Thanks so much in advance; any comments about the reasons for the ID would be much appreciated, david Pine 4.pdf

Thank you so much - that does seem to fit the best! Hopefully I'll master them soon enough! - david

Hello folks! I'm trying to learn my conifers, so any help you can give me would be wonderful! Attached are 2 PDFs, one gives 16 pictures of a Spruce tree here in Edinburgh showing its salient features, and a second is a "data table" of descriptive details gleaned from the tree (there were trees of the same species beside, hence the male cones included with the female for a dioecious plant)... (you should be able to use page-up and page-down to navigate pictures if you make the zoom right) Many thanks in advance for any ID advice (and reasons for the ID)! david Conifer Form.pdf PDF.pdf

Hello Mattmoss! Thank you for that suggestion - we certainly have s. caprea round here, but i've never seen one with such gigantic leaves, and with such a rugged bark the thought it could be that one didn't enter my mind... i'll take your word for the suggestion, unless I hear or spot any alternatives! With many thanks, david

Hello friends, I'm trying to throw myself into tree identification. The attached tree I couldn't spot in my book. Can anyone suggest what it might be? It was taken in Edinburgh, Scotland. With so many thanks in advance for all your help, david
