This data report describes a tree ring data set of 146 stems of mature Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seed trees collected in a replicated ecological study design across Norway’s northernmost county Finnmark. The motivation of the study was to quantify the abundance and growth of Scots pine seedlings in a neighborhood around mature seed trees. The tree ring dataset is based on 5 mm cores taken at breast height of each seed tree.
