The Bach Flower Pine comes from the Scots pine, a tree species belonging to the Pinaceae family found in Europe, as far away as Eastern Siberia. Often called the "Northern Pine," the flower has a long, straight trunk, typically reaching 25 meters in height and living for over two centuries. Some Scots pines can live for over 700 years. The tree is easily identifiable by its ochre-red bark. Its leaves are bluish needles measuring between 4 and 7 cm long.
Scots pine is the oldest of all flowering plants. A symbol of profound transformation over time and successive generations, it is possible to distinguish three stages of growth within a single tree. Scots pine is a conifer whose wood is widely used, particularly in construction and paper pulp manufacturing. Its buds and needles can be distilled into essential oils for use in herbal medicine. This tree is a light-loving species; it requires a lot of light during its growth. It is resistant to cold and drought and adapts to most soils.
