ponderosa pine

Lodgepole Pine?

[zerasaw]

No. Lodgepole Pines don't clump the way this one does.

I'm new to this, but I guess I'll just jump in. Let me know if I do something wrong here.
Looks fun!

Is it [hide]Longleaf pine?[/hide]

How about this?

[zerasaw]

No, sorry, but close.

Loblolly Pine?

[zerasaw]

Yep.

[zerasaw]

The clumping at the end of the branch is very distinctive of that group (Loblolly, Pitch, Shortleaf, Longleaf)

[CulturallyScientific]

Thanks! Please don't double-post, though.
