Pine Tree ID in New Jersey, USA - 4/21/24 (1 Viewer)

Can anyone ID this pine tree in NJ? It was planted in an ornamental garden so it is likely it could not be native here. The needles were in bundles to two and the cones as you can see below were fairly large and armed with a sharp prickle. As a member of this forum I know this post is not bird related but any ID for this pine will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Shlundo

Did you take a photo of the bark on the main stem?

No, will do thanks for the help!

It reminds me of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris), from Europe, but I'm far from sure and don't know if there are any US confusion species.

Anyway, thanks for all your help as it is greatly appreciated it looks like Austrian pine to me with the rounded cone scales. Thanks again for all the help.
