Pine is an evergreen tree that grows up to 30 ft. It has reddish-brown bark with needle-like leaves and pear-shaped cones. Pines are native to Eurasia but have been cultivated in many parts of the world, including North America for centuries.

Eucalyptus also has similar benefits to Pine Scotch, however, the aroma of Pine Scotch is very enjoyable particularly if you aren't a big fan of Eucalyptus.
