Ireland’s Native Trees - EPISODE 2 SCOTS PINE

Ireland’s Native Trees is a series of short movies funded by the Creative Ireland Programme. Different trees have been selected and a short film created focusing on each individual tree species. In each movie, we explore how to identify the tree, what role the tree plays in supporting biodiversity and what the tree does for us - eco-system services. The movie’s are for anyone with an interest in Ireland’s native trees to learn how to identify them and on their importance in the Irish landscape. The movie is shot by Charlie Joe Gallagher in the wonderful Glenveagh National Park and narrated by Aengus Kennedy of NatureNorthWest. This episode explores Scots Pine.

Anyone who defends a tree is a legend.

Very informative and beautifully produced video. The red squirrel and Scots Pine make a majestic pair.

Couldn't agree more

There’s a lovely massive Scot’s pine just out my back. I live beside an old estate that was built a couple hundred years ago (17 hundreds) and the trees in it are protected, meaning there’s some lovely big trees that are probably hundreds of years old

Thanks so much for this video. Studying horticulture and is so much nicer to learn from videos like this and see the real thing rather than just reading about it in a book

I live in Western Siberia and in this part the Scots pine is the main tree. The climate is almost subarctic. Amazing what this pine can adapt to.

[@margroningen]

Yes, the scots pine (pinus sylvestris) is native in Ireland, but also in my country The Netherlands, Norway or in Siberia. The sheer beauty, but also the different circumstances it can adapt to, makes it my most beloved tree.

Excellent video. I hope the Scots Pine will spread across Ireland once again.

A beautiful tree, along with Oak one of my two all-time favourites. Great work identifying those native Irish pines, and good to hear that there will soon be whole woods propagated from them. Some similar work has been happening on a few survivors in an isolated glen at Kielder, NE England. Nice video.

Have ya any cuttings of those native tress so I can grow one in my garden

[@amiralikharal6426]

Hi dear , I just want to inquire is there any good dendrochronologist in the country? Or any link to any document on tree rings from the country?

[@jammybap]

10kg of carbon across what timescale?

[@chickenfarm09]

Do they suffer with the pine wood nematode?

[@kmake8321]

Where do I get the seeds?

[@whatdisd]

Where exactly in the Burren is the Scots pine stand?

[@stiofanocathmhaoil2318]

Ar fheabhas agus iontach suimiúil

Sin í an fhírinne, a chara

[@viviennemackenzie3467]

Is Scot’s pine not native to Scotland?
