The Tree of the Year 2007 is a Siberian pine at Mörkin in Hallormsstaður. The tree grew up from seed sown there in 1906. A total of 25 kg of seeds were sown, with limited results, most likely thanks to mice eating most of the seeds. Some trees made it, however, and have been growing slowly but steadily since. It wasn’t until 1995 that the Siberian pine trees in Mörkin were counted exactly, resulting in a number of 87 trees. Those trees have now begun spreading seeds, so a second generation of pines is on the way. The seeds probably originated around the city of Omsk in western Siberia. At the nomination ceremony in 2007 the tree was measured and turned out to be 13,2 m in height, with a trunk 50 cm in diameter.
