It looks like a tree collected from a rock.I bought it for six bucks (!),from the guy who dug it up.(But wouldn't tell me where.He would jusy say "Northern New Mexico".)The tree had almost no roots,and I was concerned it wouldn't live.It finally has enough roots to stand up unassisted in the pot.I'll post a photo,if anyone wants to see it.


Please do.

Hey Earthgirl great finds and I'm glad to see native trees being saught after. You mentioned you didn't have much on Pinions. Well I'm not sure as far as how my fascination started but I wound up growing some I got out of the supermarket. They orignated from Demming New Mexico. Now that I think of it, it was after getting some inspiration from reading off of Jerry Meislic's home page where he talks about seeing what you can grow from the super market. Any way not to get too side tracked. But I wound up getting a book by the name of "Pinion Pine A natural and Cultural History by Ronald M Lanner". Quite fascinating to read. He is a professor out in Utah I believe. I actually got a chance to talk to him on line and told him how much I enjoyed his book. You might find it equally fascinating. It goes into distiguishing between the species of Pine nut producing pines of which there is only about 12 world wide and 8 of which are in North America. There is some talk about hardiness of particular species and if I'm not mistaken soil might also be in there. Have a look if you get a chance you might find it helpful. -dkozi

An update
39 and 40 in good health. I am glad I peeked at this thread again because I was tempted to mess with them. But Vance's advice remains good and I'll wait a while longer!

I am assuming that they are all doing well? Even the old one?

Yes, Vance. The oldest one is still sitting there not doing much o nuthin, but I think it may wake up this spring. The biggest one with lots of foliage and roots got knocked over by the better half twice since its collection so it finally turned a sad brown...

There's no counting for squirrels and spouses...

I'll try and get a pic soon, but I can tell you it (the older one) looks pretty much the same.
