Scots pine is a well-known and widely spread evergreen coniferous tree in our region, which can grow up to 40 meters tall under good conditions. The suitable parts for harvesting are the buds, needles, and young shoots, which contain a large amount of essential oils, vitamin C, carotene, and other antioxidant substances and minerals. Essential oil is obtained by distilling the needles, bark, phloem, and young wood.
Harvesting time for shoots: May.
