Ponderosa Pine

Just picked up a Ponderosa Pine from Randy Knight. He brought mine down with a load of bigger stock for other customers. Thanks Randy, and thanks to JGamby713 for setting it up.

As you and Jason have shown us Mr. Knight certainly collects some great trees.

At first I was a little hesitant when I heard that this tree was collected in June of this year. But there are lots of new roots growing out the bottom of the container, and new growth on the top. Seems it didn't miss a beat. Brian __________________ There's a difference between taking your art seriously, and taking yourself too seriously.

This is some of that free stock you are thinning out right? Besides with the floods coming you can't risk any of that soil washing out. It will be safe in Fresno!
