bristlecone witch's broom, 120 year old pseudolarix, etc. photos
Here is a photo of a witch's broom on a Great Basin Bristlecone Pine in front of the BLM office in Elko, Nevada. I myself am not very much into these but I figure some of you on here might appreciate it and might even see fit to make a brief stop to take a clipping. The blm office is located right off I-80 in beautiful Elko, Nevada (insert sarcasm here)...just a thought.
Below is a photo of Pinus maximartinezii in the glass house at Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
And here is a photo of a large Dawn Redwood planted in lower Manhattan near Houston St and 2nd ave. It is planted in a community garden and is obviously thriving. It was planted in the early 1980s, back when New York City had an average of 2100 murders a year.
And here is a photo of an enormous Golden False-Larch, Pseudolarix amabilis, one of the largest I have seen in this country. It was planted in Weeping Beech Park in Queens, NY 120 years ago by Samuel Parsons, a famous nurseryman and horticulturalist.
