Can anyone help me ID this pine?
It’s a 2 needle pine and looks very similar to my Scots pines.
I have a Scotts and this is different, I think.
Best guess based on the pics it’s either a Scot’s pine or a red pine.
A shot of the bark might help
Still looks like Scots pines to me! Different cultivars can have slightly different bark, needle and candle appearances. Another possibility looking a the cluster of needles at the base of the candles is Mugo pine. The Mugos I have are dwarf and golden cultivars so not great for doing a like to like comparison. I do not have experience with red pine so I cannot comment on that option.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
My guess is from the red color from the fascicles, needle color, bark pattern and texture and adelgids love them: Aleppo Pine - They are common in garden centers, home depot and lowes…
The candle tips of scots pine, have a more straw and tan or brownish color and resinous exudes. Scots pine needles are a darker ‘forest’ green with some silvery tones.
But who knows, we’re just dudes on the internet:)
