That one Stavros is a 160 year old Japanese White Pine. Pinus Parviflora pentaphillia. A grafted white pine to a Pinus thunbergii (Japanese black pine). Came to UK in early 20th Century and became mine after much haggling some 25 years ago. Just going through a 5 year needle reduction plan. Weighs in at two hundret weight, and takes two to lift with difficulty.
