Understood, thanks for sharing your thoughts with me on this.

I collected this tree because of A few reasons:

1) The trunk

2) Practice for bigger and much better trees of the same species I have marked in my GPS. These trees are in the three year stage of collection and will be lifted next spring if all goes well with these few smaller ones I collected. I think just digging up a massive trunk without prior experience would be foolhardy.

3) I see a tree in there, only time will tell though.

Please remember that I collect these off of my own property and I replace all collected trees with new trees.

I also have very good luck getting pines to back bud, this is no longer a concern for me.

Could you share some of your collected trees here so everyone can get an idea of the differences?

Thanks,

Will
