Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris)
Scots Pine is an important tree in forestry. The wood is used for pulp and sawn timber products. A seedling stand can be created by planting, sowing or natural regeneration.
In Finland and the Scandinavian countries, Scots Pine were used for making tar in the pre-industrial age. There are still some active tar producers, but mostly the industry has ceased to exist. It have also been used as a source of rosin and turpentine.
The wood is pale brown to red-brown, and used for general construction work. It has a dry density of around 470 kg/m3 (varying with growth conditions).
