Bonsai is a word that comes to mind for trees here. I will let you know about the bark if it ever develops a trunk, if I live that long.

Good teaser.
Yes...Thank you for posting answer Rob!<br />Good teaser.<br />Yes, definitely a pine. <br />A 2 needle pine.<br />I would not expect to find a Corsican pine growing wild in Kilchoan. Maybe a special planting in a private garden<br />Maybe it Pinus sylvestris a Scots pine.<br />As it gets older the bark will go a wonderful rusty/red colour colour.<br />Sheila.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
