Experience with Pinus Strobos?

[Marc Wiehn]

I looked at the pictures in this blog again, and it is actually a grafted form of the EWP. On the second picture you can see the typical V-shaped grafting scar right below the second jin on the left. This really makes this an old tree, because they do grow very slowly. Nice find!

I've seen and worked on that Jim Doyle EWP he donated to the Ch. Gardens. It's a wonderful specimen with great bark and the needles are SO thin and soft. I personally don't mind the long needles as since they are thin and soft, don't give a 'heavy' appearance to the tree imo.
