Using this thread as a baby book for one of my favorite pine species. After 3 years of drooling and missing the boat on buying seeds, my pinus pungens came in the mail today. I have been wanting this species forever. A native of the Appalachian mtn from PA to ga, a twisted up rugged pine.
They came potted not bare root. I inocculated the soil with myco fungi and acidic fertilizer and slip potted slightly larger with bonsai soil. The roots are pretty dorky but I'm saving all that for spring 2019. Any input is welcome. At this point I don't even know how many flushes to expect. My friend works with botanical gardens and she's working on hooking me up with some seed for this species. I'd like to do seedling cuttings this spring if anyone wants to join team table mountain. Pics show potted trees and the brand of myco fungi I use with overnight explosive results. Unfortunately the trees showed up without the white stuff. Beer in photo is a pounder not 12oz
