90 SEASIDE TREES AND SHRUBS 



It suffers from autumn frosts inland when exposed 

 to the morning sun. Evergreen ; South Europe, 

 1814 ; height 100 to 150 feet. There are several 

 varieties. 



Pinus maritima. See Pinus Pinaster. 



Pinus montana. See Pinus Mughus. 



Pinus Mughus (syn. P. montana). A low- 

 growing shrubby tree from 5 to 15 feet in height, 

 according to soil and situation. It is of little use 

 by the seaside, as at its best it only grows into a 

 very stunted dwarf shrub. Farther inland it 

 sometimes grows into nice specimens. P. mon- 

 tana is considered by some authorities to be a 

 synonym of P. Mughus, which it closely resembles. 

 Evergreen; mountains of Central Europe, 1779. 



Pinus nobilis. See Abies nobilis. 



Pinus nordmanniana. See Abies nordman- 

 niana. 



Pinus Pinaster (syn. P. maritima), Cluster or 

 Maritime Pine. A most useful hardy tree near 

 the sea, but very slow-growing. Farther inland it 

 grows rapidly, and makes a rather handsome tree, 

 forming a heavy, dense foliaged top, generally 

 leaning to one side. It is rather difficult to trans- 

 plant, and perhaps it is on account of failures from 

 this cause that it is not more generally grown. 

 It has a long tap root, which goes down deeply 

 into some soils. Seedlings two years old, from 

 the seed-bed, seldom succeed when transplanted.
