Sapling
Here is the last tree from my father in law, this is also a large tree (over 3 feet tall), and like the other ones it had escaped into the ground. This is Monterey Pine. I didn't get a picture before we got it off the ground, as initially we were only going to take the JBP. It was covered in 4 inch candles, though unlike a JBP, they seem to extend with needles already on them. He had us cut all of the new growth off, as he was concerned about the root loss from separating it from the ground.
I also repotted this into a larger box, and have slowly been reducing the crown to get it more in proportion. Anyone with long-term Monterey Pine care experience? I think he mostly treated it similar to a JBP, though it seems to want to grow really densely, and the needles are much finer than a JBP. The last photo is the tree on display in 1982.
