Hi Ken , i have only discovered 3 deceased specimen "Westerns" thanks to the Powers to be .All have been destroyed and the self sown wildlings are in the process of eradication ,chopping , slashing and spraying .Very similar to Pinus Nigra Austriaca/Austrian .Th Western has the "red" candle and the Nigra has the "silver" , both have very stiff broad needle .Cheers

Not quite , Google" Western Shore Pine" AND "Pinus Nigra Shore Pine" note the similar features different coloured candles/shoots and bark furrow.Cheers
