This handcrafted Scots pine forest tree brings a naturally grown evergreen needle crown to your model landscape all year round. As with trees in the forest stand, the trunk is only needled in the upper part and around half of its height, while below dry, dead branches dominate the appearance. Use this model to create dense pine forests, coniferous mixed woodland or, in combination with deciduous trees, realistic mixed forests on your model railway layout or diorama.
The Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), prototype for this model, is widespread across much of Europe and far into Siberia and prefers nutrient-poor, often sandy soils. In Germany its natural share of the forest stands is relatively small; the large areas covered by pine today are mainly the result of forestry plantations. Under favourable site conditions the species can reach heights of around 45–48 metres in nature. Choose the model height that matches your scale or follow our recommendation for your model railway gauge to recreate typical Scots pine forest stands in miniature.
