Nate,
good work. See I well, that No. 2 is anyhow colored?
In my garden ponderosas used to burn in winter sun for yellow or lime. Here I see a bit kind of bronze. Or?

Thanks Zsolt. It seems these are a lighter color, and I didn't notice any burn.

P. ponderosa 'Floppier' to be seen if it is...

Good work Nate. Nice shots.

Any idea what the origin of the trees is? They don't look like Colorado native P. ponderosa subsp. scopulorum, more like one of the western subspecies (subsp. ponderosa, or even subsp. benthamiana), or possibly southern Rockies (AZ/NM).

Thanks Severnside, it will be interesting to see if it stays true after grafting.

Resin, I have no idea about the origin of these trees. They are very different from the ponderosa growing here locally.
