Cultivars of species indigenous to your area

I wonder if other people are as stoked about native cultivars as I am. My collection sits among a forest of wonderful species conifers, particularly Ponderosas. Here is my favorite native cultivar currently in my collection. It looks wonderful against a backdrop of its older siblings (although currently it's in front of plywood lol). Anyone else have a favorite native?
Pinus ponderosa 'Mt. Shasta', a little ball of full sized needles
