I have been given a Pine by a friend who is about to do the big lap round Oz.
He and I have no idea what it is so your help is needed.
The needles have the sharppoint of a Japanese. Black Pine, however, the candles look like a Japanese. Red Pine
Will now try and get a couple of photos.

Photo?

Another photo....I'll get the hang of this one day.....

Hi, from the looks of the needles, it's most likely be JBP.

Hi AndyC,

That may even be a Red Pine going by the colour of the buds on my screen. Red Pine have slightly redder buds/candles & bark than Black Pine.
Good luck,

Hi All.
Its a confused pine cos...candles look like JRP and are sharp like a JBP. It has 2 needles and I believe that it may have been grafed onto possibly a JBP root stock.

Agree, looks like J Red pine grafted on J black pine under-stock.

Thanks all. Will go with the Red Pine.
Now the fun begins........
