Be Pinastor Pinaster)" Cluster Pine. J. dark green, stiff, broad, 
stout, from in. to 12in. long. cones about din. long, in dense 
clusters, yellowish-brown; scales pyramidal, angular, with a 
short, straight prickle ; seeds winged. h. 60ft. to 80ft. South- 
west Europe, . A beautiful tree, of variable habit, and suc- 
ceeding best near the sea. It is, perhaps, the most uncertain of 
allthe Conifere to remove, on account of its long, bare roots. 
Two-year-old seedlings seldom strike when removed, it being 
absolutely necessary to procure seedlings which have been trans- 
planted when à year old, and have stood in the nursery for 
another year. When the seed is sown, however, where the. trees 
are intended to stand, in deep, dry sand, they do very well. Syn.
