Sorry, I don't. But I am inspired to start collecting photos of interesting trees in nature. I have half a dozen in mind when I get up there again. Sadly, the camps I work at will be closed this season due to too much snowfall.

Good luck with it. Nice material.

Thanks, John. I agree with the shorter and denser limbs assessment. Do you think I'll be able to get the branches of this older tree to bud back?
