Pinus sylvestris 'Watereri' red as the name suggestsThis interesting cultivar of Scots pine was originally found on Horsell Common, Surrey in 1865. The young tree has a flat topped pyramidal character but matures, albeit very slowly, into a more rounded form. Gorgeous blue grey needles. Final height may vary but reaches seldom over 6m making it an excellent coniferous choice for the smaller garden. Plant in full sun. H7
