Description

Some features of the sylvestris include its stout, twisted needles and egg-shaped cones. Its trunk is often crocked, and the bark, which peels in irregular plates,is a purple-grey color which changes to orange and flanking toward the top. Positive growth will result from planting in acidic, well-drained soil. It is best to destroy severly beetle-ridden trees.
