Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris, belongs to the Pinaceae family (or Abietaceae) and is a resinous tree that can reach 50 meters in height. It has a narrow and irregular crown, either conical or rounded in shape.
Its bark, initially salmon-colored, turns reddish-brown with age and splits into thick plates. Scots pine needles are flexible and bluish, measuring between 4 and 8 cm in length and grouped in pairs. The fruits are small ovoid or conical cones, measuring between 4 and 7 cm long and 2 to 4 cm wide.
Scots pine is widely distributed throughout Europe, from Scotland to Russia, and extends even 300 km beyond the Arctic Circle. It can also be found as far south as the Pyrenees and can grow at altitudes up to 1,500 meters. This hardy, resilient tree tolerates cold and thrives on poor soils, whether acidic or limestone-based.
The essential oil of Scots pine is extracted through steam distillation of the needles. It is clear, colorless or pale yellow, with a characteristic resinous scent.
