Small pinus pentaphylla forest

Here we go !

I only get half of one picture.

Its not a forest but a group.

Image was too large sorry.

From how many trees can we talk about forest ?

Image was not too big. The larger images look much better.

Lovely pine group and very good photograph.

Folks who can only see half a picture are running older monitors with a lower resolution. If you set your monitor at 1280 x 768 or similar, you should be able to see all of any larger pictures. Whether you can do this and still see the fonts is up to your monitor and eyesight. I'm stuck with 1024 x 768 as my eyes aren't good enough to read the screen at larger resolutions. I need a new monitor too.

It has potential - I'd call it a group planting but not a forest.

Its always a bit sad to me to see pines that show obvious marks where wire was wrapped around the trunk in order to "hasten thickening." I'd like to see that technique curtailed. Add to that the Japanese Black Pine root stock with the grafted Japanese White Pine tops and the whole idea seems to deflate a bit.
