What is this tree?

Hi,

Can any one id this tree:



Thanks

 

It looks like a scotch pine to me. It is a bit hard to tell without seeing the needles a bit better. Normally a scotch pine doesn't get that big here. They die off at about 30 years starting from the bottom going up. I have a whole row of pretty dead ones that need to be taken down.

 

Found it. It is Pinus halepensis (http://www.conifers.org/pi/Pinus_halepensis.php)

 

That isn't a tree around here, we get much too cold for it. I am glad you found what it is. Sorry we couldn't help more.

 

Thanks carolyn for stopping by and your endeavor to help.

 

Seeds planted sprout after 3 weeks. (No scarification nor stratification is done):

well, I was at least in the right genus as I was thinking it looked like a pine and that seedling is identical to a pine seedling. Good growing for you!

 

Its a pine. Thats the easy part. What-flavor of pine won't become clear till it gets bigger.

Unfortunately, after a very hot day (38 °C or 100 °F) my seedling died. I learned my lesson, hot weather will kill seedlings in no time.
I will try to germinate more seeds and will be more careful next time:

thats too bad. A well learned lesson (painful) sticks better than anything though to keep a closer eye on the tiny plants. better luck next time, though.

 

Awe, that is such a shame, it looked so healthy too.
