Some new pines
Tuesday, 31st March, 2009
I have just collected these three pines. The big one has a very nice nebari and lower trunk, but the upper trunk must undergo some serious bending to be in the right place.

The giant
Monday, 23rd March, 2009
Last weekend I went collecting again. It was a bit early beause some of the trees I found was still frosen in the ground so I couldn’t collect them. (I’ll go back later ). I did collect one tree. It’s the largest tree I have ever collected. It’s currently about 160 cm tall, but I hope to reduce the hight to about 1 meter in the future. The trunk diameteris about 45 cm.
It was so heavy that I has seious doubts that I could carry it to my car, but in the end I managed to get it home, the next day my whole body was sore, I had pain in places I didn’t know I had muscels.
I got a lot of roots so I think it will live even though big, old trees like this (it’s probably at least 200- 300 years old) are weak and more difficult to collect successfully than smaller pines. I will know if it survives within a few months. I keep my finges krossed.
