Ok class what kind of trees are these?

conifer?

Sorry for blurting it out ...... I've had my hand up for a long time! :)

I'll try ..... Ponderosa Pine.

PG

Looks like what we call a Jack Pine, don't know if that is the real name or a local one though. Got some in my yard, they are everywhere here.

I cheated and googled and I am wrong.... :( :( :( :( :( :(

but now I know the answer, and for ten bucks I'll sell it to the other kids! :D

What's the prize! How about and all expenses paid ride on KK's Ice Burg :rolleyes:

Oh thats easy... Christmas Trees! :wacko:

If the needles are in groups of 5, I'd say White Pine. If the needles are in groups of 3, I'd say Ponderosa Pine.

Don

FM3, the prize is you get to be first in the lunch line for a week! B)

Let me know when you give up! :)

Ok I used to have these in my front yard, soft needles that were fun to touch and I think they are White pine. Some dumb bugs killed most of them so they became dead white pines. Yours look good and healthy. :D

Fm3

I say Bull Pine or Yellow Pine (Art the logger helped me with this one!)

I don't know what they are (so many conifers are similar) but I don't think they're white pines. We have lots of white pines, and they look different.

Ok, I will give you a hint http://www.nationaltreetrust.org/Trees/tre...etail.cfm?ID=40
and PG, sorry I didn't see you with your hand up ;)

That's what I get for sitting in the back of the classroom. :D

Pretty good hint ... Austrian Pines!
Get me to the front of the line for lunch!! :lol:

PG

Anybody know what this one is?



PG

Looks pretty close to an Austrian pine. It's in the Pinus family of trees. The candles look the same. The needles look the same. Hummmm, a mugo pine is much smaller and wider. It forsure has been cultured. Are you going to poodle it?

Ok, I can't stand it! :huh: What is it??? Hummm?? What???? Well...........Waiting, waiting, waiting..... :blink: :rolleyes:

Give up?

It is a Japanese Black Pine, or Pinus thunbergii 'Thunderhead' (dwarf).

This time, last year, the candles were a stark white and smooth ... as wax candles.
It's only been in the ground here for about 15 months.
This year the candles are a little off color, and rough. Not sure why ... maybe it needs more water or fertilizer.

Don't know what "poodle"-ing is. :blink: Something like bonsai?

PG

You know what a poodle looks like after a hair cut. Tuffs on the extremities and bare in others parts. And then everybody makes fun of it.

I don't think Pg would do that T :D .

If that's what poodle-ing is, then I'll leave that for the dogs. ;)

Here's what it looked like a couple of months ago, from a different angle:



It's a little windswept.

PG

Since I came in late, I'll pay Derrick the ten dollars and get the correct answer :D
