Bhutan Pine Pinus wallichiana. This pine native to Afghanistan to Nepal was introduced into cultivation in 1823. This specimen was planted in the 1980’s and has developed into a wide spreading elegant tree and one of the most impressive trees on the NUIG campus. The pine needles are held in clusters of 5 and are 18 – 20cm long. The bluish green colour on the outer surface and blue white on the inner surface of the cluster are striking when lit by rays of sunshine. (Source: Dr Mary Forrest, UCD).
