Ponderosa Pine- comments Herr Walter Pall?

Will,
In your climate Ponderosa pines should be dynamite. None of the touchiness of black pines in cold weather, plus you have really long summer days and generally cool nights. I started the heavy feeding regime (we have always watered them alot) this year after talking with Walter in Texas, will see how it works in my climate- relatively short summer days relative to the higher latitiudes and frequently warm nights. This goes back to the concept of ability to survive vs the ability to thrive- Cypress in standing water, ponderosa pines and reocky mountain junipers clinging to life on the wind swept, dry mountain terrain.... get the picture?
