As some attention is being given to this pine for timber in the old world, it may serve to indicate its growth in America to note that one planted by the late Robert Buist is still growing in his grounds at Rosedale, and is at the present time 5 ft. 4 in. in circumference, and over 40 ft. high". It has a clean, straight trunk, so desirable in a timber tree, and is clothed with branches to the ground. Of course, in good timber culture, the lower branches would have been gradually taken away, so as to have a trunk free from knots, and then the tree might have been 60 or 70 ft. high. It is 35 years old.

The Pinus Laricio is supplanting the Scotch pine and the larch in the estimation of English foresters. We believe the tree is less adapted to American climate than its neighbor the Austrian.
