Collecting trip
Just got back from our club's collecting trip to Mammoth and White Mountain. Here are a few of my finds:
Western White pine Pinus monticola
Cascade Utah juniper
Lodgepole pine P. contorta
Another Utah juniper
Another lodgepole
We had a great trip! It was snowing at Mammoth and we dug trees in 2" of new snow.
Had an exciting moment at White mountain when a band of wild mustangs snuck up on us and the stallion got a little agressive.

Re: Collecting trip
I like the second juniper, nice deadwood. Looking at the second P. contorta, I wonder how this species backbud?

Re: Collecting trip
Sounds like an exciting trip. Did the stallion have that Cascade Juniper tagged?
I really like the shape on the cascade. Did you get most of the roots?
Salut, Todd

Thanks.
Lodgepoles don't backbud on old barked wood, but newer branches often hold latent buds that will pop if the tip growth is pruned.

It was a great trip.
There was some scraps of alfalfa in the back of my pickup left from feeding my sheep. I think the horses were attracted to that as the stallion had his head in my truck when we noticed him.
The cascade juniper was actually a branch at ground level on a larger tree that had layered its own roots. I split it from the main trunk and was able to get a lot of roots. I especially like the deadwood on this one.

Re: Collecting trip

I lost my whole collection there cause of the full afternoon sun and even shade cloths didnt help

Re: Collecting trip
Congratulations Looks like you found some very nice plants! Did you get a chance to see the ancient bristlecone pines while you were in the White Mountains?

Re: Collecting trip
Looks like a good day's work! The cascade Juniper inparticular looks like a top find.

Didn't make it to the Bristlecones this year... too much snow. I've seen them several times before though, and they're always inspiring.

Nice work
Be sure to let us poor Easterners know if you guys ever sell any of these collected trees...

Re: Collecting trip
Paul, nice looking material. Have you collected Western white pine before? If so, how has your survival rate been?
We've collected them up here in the Washington Cascades, but haven't had real good luck with survival. Some trees that have lots of fine roots and have survived for three or four years are seemingly are doing well, then all of a sudden they start going down hill and die.

Re: Collecting trip
No, this is the first I've tried. I avoided them before because I heard of results like yours. I decided to try one because a couple of people I know have had good results. Scott at Lotus bonsai has some ten years and counting, and Ryan Neil says he has one collected at the same area (Mammoth Mountain) that is one of his favorite trees. Time will tell....Roger Snipes wrote:Paul, nice looking material. Have you collected Western white pine before? If so, how has your survival rate been?

Re: Collecting trip
I tried some Western White Pine and lost them, unfortunately However, I think you may have more luck with them where you are located. I live in the central valley and I think it is just too hot in the summer. I collected with Scott and Bolet this year and they have done well with this species. Have you been to the nursery? Congrats on the trip, I especially like the cascade juniper!!!

I live in Rescue, Ca, just a few miles from Scott and Bolet. I just visited Scott at their nursery yesterday and got the update on the collecting trip you went on. Scott showed me the juniper he dug... what a monster!
