Austrian Black Pine Sticker

This is a common tree in its native habitat, the mountains of Central Europe. It’s also commonly planted across the United States as a landscape tree. It produces a prolific cone crop and has two needles per fascicle. In the landscape, it can be confused with the Japanese black pine (P. thunbergii) and the red pine (P. resinosa) but can be told apart by the obvious spiral pattern at the base of its larger cone and by its dark black bark.
