THANK YOU for all that! Whitebark Pine and Limber Pine always loomed mystical for me. They were the patina of what our mountain parks meant to me. Just super!

That’s great! I’ve planted some limber pine where I live, they grow about 20 miles away naturally here in SE Wyoming. Those Larix Occidentalis were stealing the show a little bit 😏

Glad I could be part of that equation during my time at the nursery. It's nice seeing the start and finish of that process. Beautiful video.

No matter where we live, planting native trees and shrubs will help the wildlife, yourself, and the planet. Just go plant one....

If you take the cone seeds away from the nutcracker birds and squirrels how will they survive?
