Collected Ponderosa Pine #2

[Alex_B]

All,

Starting a thread on this one. Another Ponderosa Pine collected in April of '21 in the Cascades. This one is particularly large, and I’m looking forward to its development. It will likely live in its current state for a couple more years to really build up strength.

Any thoughts or comments welcome. Photos taken in November for reference.

Nice collecting! Maybe only criticism is it could benefit from a more central position in a larger container.

Purpose to allow roots to grow in a radial fashion. The usual situation of a long tap root in a crevice makes developing roots a challenge. Where are you located?
