Dzongkha: Tongphu/ Sharchop, also called Tshangla : Chang-shing / en. Tear Tree, Tear Pine, or Blue Pine - used for Pinus wallichiana too
Similar and and closely related to P. wallichiana, and previously was considered as belonging to these, but branches sinuous, often drooping; young shoots glaucous and brownish puberluos, leaves are longer, to 28cm, distinctively more pendulous from the base even when young, paler and more glaucous, and with a slightly different arrangement of the resin channels.
E. Bhutan and neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh, India, as well as neighbouring China (SE Xizang: Tangmai region, NW Yunnan). Its distribution is still not well known. Data from labeled herbarium specimens indicate that it occurs at elevations of 720 to 2.750 m in mixed pine forest, mixed oak-pine forest, mixed broadleaved forest, and secondary forests.
Pinus sylvestris, the Scots pine (UK), Scotch pine (US) or Baltic pine, is a species of tree in the pine family Pinaceae that is native to Eurasia. It can readily be identified by its combination of fairly short, blue-green leaves and orange-red bark.

The origins of the Shrine of Our Lady of ta' Pinu are unknown. It was first recorded in the archives of the Curia in Gozo, when the Bishop Domenico Cubelles paid a visit to the chapel. This noted that the chapel had just been rebuilt and that it belonged to the noble family of "The Gentile".
In 1575 the apostolic visitor Pietro Duzina was delegated by Pope Gregory XIII to visit the Maltese Islands. In his pastoral visit to the church, he found that it was in a very bad state. He ordered the church to be closed and demolished and its duties passed to the parish church, now the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Gozo. When demolition began the workman broke his arm while striking the first blow. This was taken as an omen that the chapel should not be demolished. The church was the only chapel on the island to survive Duzina's decree ordering the demolition of other similar chapels. Pinu Gauci became the procurator of the church in 1598 and its name was changed from "Of the Gentile" to "Ta` Pinu", meaning "Of Philip". In 1611 Gauci offered money for its restoration. It was rebuilt, with a stone altar erected and investments for liturgical services provided. Gauci also commissioned the painting of the Assumption of Our Lady for the main altar. This was done in 1619 by Amadeo Perugino. In 1883, Karmni Grima was walking past the now run down church and heard a voice asking her to recite three Hail Marys'. Over the following years miracles were attributed to the grace of Our Lady of The Assumption to whom the church was dedicated. The works for the new church began on 30 May 1922 on the initiative of the church's rector Monsignor Ġużepp Portelli and was consecrated on 31 August 1932. It was built in a neo-romantic style. Inside the church there are 6 mosaics, 76 coloured windows and many ex-voto. The bell tower is 61 metres high.
Pope John Paul II celebrated mass on the parvise of the shrine during his visit to the island of Gozo on 26 May 1990. On 18 April 2010, when visiting Malta, Pope Benedict XVI donated and placed a Golden Rose in front of the devotional image of Our Lady Of Ta' Pinu which was brought over from Gozo to Malta for this special occasion. The Pope invited everybody to "Pray to Her Under the Title Queen of the Family" The church building is listed on the National Inventory of the Cultural Property of the Maltese Islands.
Koivumäen honka. This tree started growing in 1620. So it will achieve the respectable age of 400 years in the same year when I'll retire.
"Toista peninkulmaa Kuopiosta itään päin Riistavedellä Koivumäellä on petäjä, jonka pituus on 17 syltä ja paksuus juuresta yhden metrin. Kauas näkyy, peninkulmien päähän, tuo korkealla mäellä pienten vesojen keskellä seisova korven kuningas...Kun honka on luonnonihanan seudun ympäröimä, niin sopisi matkailijan, joka tahtoisi tutustua vielä esi-isiemme suuruuksiin, pistäytyä hongan juurella panemassa tupakka.” Näin kirjoitti jo 6.5.1901 Uusi Savo lehti.
Is the smallest pine tree species here on the Alps, reaching hardly 2m of height. Its flexible branches are so strong that they can face large avalanches.

Pinus wallichiana is a coniferous evergreen tree native to the Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountains, from eastern Afghanistan east across northern Pakistan and India to Yunnan in southwest China. It grows in mountain valleys at altitudes of 1800–4300 m (rarely as low as 1200 m), between 30 m and 50 m in height. It favours a temperate climate with dry winters and wet summers.
Butan Pine (Pinaceae) - Image by Tony Mundell.
The genus Pinus (Pines) has leaves (needles) which have shoots with bunches of 2, 3, or 5 leaves, each bunch enclosed in a sheath of papery bracts. The number of needles helps identification, but occasionally there are bunches with a nonstandard number of leaves, so several shoots need to be examined. Cones are mostly more or less egg-shaped (ovoid) with hard, woody scales.
The leaves of P. wallichiana are in bunches of 5 and are 8-20cm and drooping; cones are up to 25cm long, scale tips straight or slightly out-curving at base of cone.
