This tree was first identified as a Scots pine after a lot of debate between Alan Hunton and myself when we recorded it. However, after some research I have decided to alter the species to Austrian pine as it seems to fit more of the ID characteristics of Black pine. The ATI doesn't list black pine - only the various sub species - hence the choice of Austrian. If anyone more knowledgeable would like to offer a definitive, alternative ID I would be happy to amend the record!
PS the needles are 12-15cms long, pointed, serrated with a slight twist. The cones were about 8-10 cms long with scales that seemed a little prickled and have rounded edges.
