Tree# 111

Species:  Ponderosa  Pine

Estimated Age: 90 Years

Collected: 5/08

Comments: Great possibilities for a literati pine.

Here’s an interesting comparison of two ponderosa seedlings. The one on the left, 8 or 9 years old, has a normal form with needles about 2.5” in length. The one on the right, probably 20 years old, has needles an inch, or less, in length, and a ramified branch structure. Since both are growing in the same conditions, what’s the cause? Probably genetics.
