Like the White Pine, they are planted in groups and can be found as such on the Southwest side of Temple Hall and the North side of Hammons Student Center. There are others scattered about. The needles are in groups of 2 or 3 and are quite long. The cones are small. The needles, unlike other Pines, are in bundles of 5.
Cones are long and somewhat curved.
The branching occurs in whorls around the trunk, giving the species a unique appearance. It can attain very large height and trunk size when allowed to grow old. There are many White Pines on campus, especially in the newer areas. The Scots Pine is easily distinguished from the other Pines on campus by the shorter, blue-grey needles. It also has very small, fat cones.
