Ponderosas of Don Guilliams

These two ponderosa pines are owned by Don Guilliams. Don was my host in Seattle and I thank him very much. Among other trees we worked on these two. The first one should be planted more to the right. I made a quick virtual to show .

On the ferry from Seattle to Bremerton in the Puget Sound. What a country!

My ponderosa pine demo. Pinus ponderosa, about 300 years old, collected by Randy Knight. The tree was auctioned off for US$ 2,200. so it was not as bad as it seems from the images here.

My Scots Pine demo. Pinsu sylvestris, nursery grown, pretty high, very dense. I tried to style it like the ponderosa pines which grow a lot in the Spokane area. The tree did not get finsihed, of course. What you see is what I could do in two hours, mostly talking though. Images courtesy of Dennis Houwke. Thank you Dennis.
