The Stomatal Bloom refers to the underside of the leaf and how much of the stomata are open, making a lighter color. a good example of this is the "stripes" on some spruces.

Re: Forestry B/C
Well the first thing to know is how many needles in a bundle. then if you find the lengths of the needles and together that should seporate them pretty nicely. of course, there are more ways to tell them apart, but I would start with these first!qwertyuioplkjhgfdsa wrote:Thanks!

once you've established the number of needles, look for little things like twisted vs. not twisted, long vs. short, etc.

A pine can have flat needles or really thin ones that twist, it is a good way to identify. also use colors and cones, if theres a cone in the picture and you know the cone then its easier then knowing the tree itself, but make the needles top priority
