Alright folks, I've been eye-balling these short needle pines for a while, out at my grandparents house. They have some on an adjacent property that I plan on digging up this coming winter, that are a good height, but then there are a couple that would make better air layer candidates. Does...

Found in the swamp near my grandfathers house (I get most of my trees from this area. Lol) It's been put into a tub of potting soil for now.

A little back story on this plant... My grandfather, long ago, ran a nursery and landscaping business out of his house, at one time he had over 1000 azalea bushes growing on his property. The ones I used to run around, hide in, and jump out to scare my siblings, mom, and aunts, still line a...
